UK (Aug 26) – The decomposing remains of a “British Spy” in a plush London flat have been identified as that of Gareth Williams who was on secondment to MI6 at the time of his death. As of yet there is no cause of death, more tests have been ordered today to try and pin down just how he ended up in bits inside a bag, which was placed in his bathtub.
Post mortem examination could not determine the cause of death, thought originally to be death by stabbing, which has now been ruled out. It is hoped that today’s tests will shed more light on a story that is becoming more and more sinister. Investigators from the Met have labeled the death “suspicious and unexplained”, the BBC are alluding to something in the sexually depraved area of possibilities.
Not only are the BBC (and the media at large) insinuating that it was some homosexual tryst gone sour, but as a backup, or further reaching bit of propaganda the Russians have been fingered. A Russian company registered off shore, or something equally fitting of a crime thriller apparently owns the flat.
In the initial reports on TV there was talk of retinal scanners on the locks. There has been little mentioned of them today.
The police are now taking his government owned flat to pieces, going over his belongings carefully to find out as much as they can about Mr. Williams. Investigators hope to find out who came and went in the final hours of his life, as a lack of obvious breaking and entering, as I have learned from TV shows, suggests he knew his killer.
It is just a shame that a network such as the BBC would automatically blurt out that he died at the hands of a gay lover, or Russians. At this point, given that we know little about how Mr. Williams came to find himself chopped up in a bag, saying that he did it to himself would be as informed as the trash coming from the BBC.
Naturally, there seems to be something sinister going on, a man who worked in some unknown capacity for MI6 found dead in a Russian owned flat, chopped up in a bag in the bath, phone left lying on the bed surrounded by extra Sim cards, no sign of a break in, retinal scanners… You can see how conspiracy theories start.
