MI6 spy found dead in a sports bag “probably an accident” say police

by Descrier Staff | November 13, 2013

The death of Gareth Williams, the MI6 spy who was found in a padlocked sports bag, was “probably an accident” Scotland Yard have said.

After a three-year investigation, the Metropolitan police said that he most likely died alone in his flat, but they could not “fundamentally and beyond doubt” rule out the possibility of foul play by a third party sad Detective Assistant Commissioner Martin Hewitt.

Williams’ naked body was found in the padlocked bag in an empty bath in his flat in Pimlico, London in August 2010, with the keys to the padlock beneath him inside the bag.

The coroner concluded that his death was likely the result of suffocation or poisoning, with a third party locking him in the bag, and ruled it an unlawful killing last year. However, the police inquest came to a different conclusion. The police did concede, however, that there was insufficient evidence to support any real conclusions.
