Murdered British spy found stuffed into sports bag in bath of London flat
|
A British spy who was found dead in the bath of a flat in London was killed before his body was stuffed into a sports bag where it lay decomposing for up to two weeks.
The man, named locally as Gareth Williams, is understood to have been employed as a communications worker at GCHQ, the Government’s “listening post” in Cheltenham, Glos.
Mr Williams, who was in his thirties, was on secondment at the headquarters of MI6, the Secret Intelligence Service, in Vauxhall, just across the Thames from where his body was found.
He had been due to return to Cheltenham to resume his position at GCHQ before he was murdered.
Scotland Yard said today that a post mortem was inconclusive in establishing a cause of death and further examination, including toxicology tests, would be required.
There was no evidence he was stabbed, sources said, dismissing earlier reports. Detectives are studying whether he was strangled, asphyxiated or drugged.
A source said: “Inquiries are focusing on his lifestyle and we are still trying to piece together his final movements.
