MURDERED MI6 SPOOK GARETH WILLIAMS BURIED

By Daily Star Reporter | September 25, 2010

The funeral of MI6 spy Gareth Williams was held in his home town in Angelsey yesterday.

The codebreaker’s naked body was found zipped into a padlocked holdall in the bathroom of his London flat last month.

Metropolitan Police are still investigating his “complex” and “unexplained” death.

Hundreds gathered at the Bethel Chapel in Holyhead to pay tribute to the 31-year-old, who was described as a “quiet but happy person”. Mr Williams’ parents, Ellen and Ian were supported at the service by their daughter Ceri, 28.

Among the mourners were the Head of MI6, Sir John Sawers, and colleagues from GCHQ, the Government’s base in Cheltenham, and the Secret Intelligence Service.

His former headteacher Islwyn Williams, of Ysgol Morswyn primary school, also paid tribute to him.
