Coroner: MI6 spy's death was probably a crime
The MI6 spy found dead in a padlocked sports holdall was probably 'unlawfully killed' in a criminal act, a coroner concluded. - Gareth Williams’s death most likely involved a third party and he was either poisoned or suffocated, Dr Fiona Wilcox said. She said the possibility that a member of the intelligence services was involved in the maths prodigy’s death remained a “legitimate line of inquiry” for police. The head of MI6, Sir John Sawers, apologised to Mr Williams’s family for failing to report him missing for a week. In a statement, family members said the delay had “exacerbated” their grief. They also criticised the intelligence service for its “failure and reluctance” to make information available.
