Padlocked Himself In A Sportsbag

[Corpulent Tosser]

The death of MI6 spy Gareth Williams, whose body was found in a padlocked sports bag, was probably an accident, police have said.

Now I have not seen the bag nor the padlock, but I would have thought the probablility was that someone else was involved.

On the balance of probabilities it looks like it was an accident. Hmm. It's a good job that the FSB/Mossad etc. don't specialise in killing people in ways that look like accidents.

I'm not saying he was definitely murdered but I am saying that the police don't really have a clue whether or not he was murdered and that MI6 went out of their way to be unhelpful in the early days of the investigation.

To be fair I think they would go for a more obvious type of accident than suffocating in a bag (suffocating in a bag Stephen Milligan style for example).

You've blown it for the world's assassins now, watch out for a banana skin on your stairs and a misplaced wood chipper mysteriously left on at the bottom.

So how do they explain why, in the middle of August, the central heating was on full blast?

Why was the bag in the bath? Shirley most fetishes take place in the bedroom.

There can only be one answer: he was rendered unconscious by some sort of sedative, then placed in the bag to suffocate. In the bath to save juices leaking through the floor into the flat below.

The heating was turned on to speed up the process of decomposition, making the sedative and any incriminating DNA harder to track.

Surely a bath full of acid would be the 'easiest' way of removing evidence?

[Rude-boy]

I know nothing but the above all sounds about what i have been thinking.

The only real question in my head is was he bumped off intentionally or did a sexy time partner get things wrong and take it from there.

If the latter, I wonder why SIS we quite so helpful, one might wonder as to the identity of the missing party and if they were/are also in the employ of SIS.

Much though I sympathize with this poor chap and his family, I think the fact that he had been previously found tied to the bed, and had to shout for his landlady to free him, suggests that this was a recreational thing, not a hit by Mossad or whatever.

The Evidence said:

None of his DNA was found on the lock attached to the bag and his palm prints were not found on the rim of the bath.

But yeah, he totally padlocked himself into a sports bag in his bath with the CH on full blast in August.

Because people do that all the time.

I'd wager that most fetishes don't take place in the bedroom!

I think I might need my tinfoil hat on before I read that site!

[Birkin1932]

How did you know about the tinfoil hat????

Reminds me of Douglas Adams' book "The long dark tea time of the soul" (I hope I got this right!! ) - where Dirk Gently visits a house only to find the occupier's severed head revolving on the turntable of his record player and the police are saying it is a case of suicide...

The Met Police continue to suffer credibility issues - no, that's not news (or even 'news') !

And the reporting in a newspaper item upthread is pretty abysmal as well - this chap's landlord/landlady commenting on his alleged compromising situation, non-proclivities and habits in front of the coroner? Have another !! Blimey!! etc... "We talked about this and blah conjecture blah womens' clothes blah whatever..." GIVE US A BREAK!!

This sounds much more plausible than him padlocking himself in a bag.

The moral here is, do not start a course in DIY Escapology until you are in possession of all your course material.
