UK spy found dead in locked bag 'not murder'

A British spy whose naked, decomposing body was found padlocked in a bag in his bath probably died accidentally on his own, police in the UK have said, rejecting conspiracy theories that his death was the work of foreign agents.


The Metropolitan Police's deputy assistant commissioner, Martin Hewitt, said on Wednesday that investigations suggested it was likely Gareth Williams, a code-breaker working for MI6, had not been murdered.


"Most probably, it was an accident," Hewitt said. "I'm convinced that Gareth's death was in no way linked to his work."
