MI6 Spy Gareth Williams: Keys Found Under Body, Inside Bag
December 22nd, 2010Via: Telegraph:
Detectives investigating the death of the MI6 spy Gareth Williams have disclosed that keys to the padlock on the sports bag were found inside the North Face holdall, underneath Mr Williams’s naked body.
An expert on rescuing people from confined spaces has told investigators that it would be impossible to lock the bag from the inside, although the keys are not necessary to close the padlock.
Other keys were found in the flat which could have opened the padlock but were not obviously laid out.
The expert got into the bag, which is made of a synthetic rubber called Neoprene, on behalf of the police and discovered that within three minutes the temperature had reached 30 degrees Celsius and after half an hour the oxygen had run out.
A post mortem suggests Mr Williams died in the early hours of Monday August 16 but his body was not found until a week later.
The cause of death remains inconclusive and, although he had some bruising to his elbows, there is no sign that he put up a struggle.
