MI6 Man Padlocked in Bag

The inquest into the death of Gareth Williams, the MI6 employee found dead in his flat last week, was open and adjourned today, but not before we learned that his body was discovered in a large sports holdall which was locked by a padlock.

Mr Williams’s body was found on August 23rd after Police called at his residence to do a welfare check. Williams was an expert in codes, and was on secondment from  Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) with MI6 at the time of his death.

The speculation in the British newspapers over his private life, has caused distress to his family and was apparently based on information received from the Secret Intelligence service.

Coroner Dr Paul Knapman adjourned the inquest for a week.
