Police find body in bag at MI6 man's London flat

[Peter Lemkin]

Anybody wondering why an MI6 spy with Gareth Williams' skillset would end up murdered in the bath of his safehouse, with his corpse entombed in a sports holdall for day after sorry day, should consider the case of Sibel Edmonds.

Then they may chooose to reflect that Williams probably operated at a higher level of national security clearance than Edmonds, and certainly, as a mathematical prodigy, was a more gifted signals analyst.

Finally, one could ask, hypothetically of course, whether if Williams had uncovered crimes of the magnitude identified by Edmonds quite who the most likely murderers are?

Jan, I'd think there are two likely possibilities of equal likelihood, at this stage of so little real information and so much disinformation. 1] As you rightly say, he might have been aware of some damning information and about to blow the whistle [or 'they' were afraid he might at sometime blow the whistle, for some reason]. 2] He was working on some Project, and while not fully aware of the 'sensitivity' of this material to those who ordered his murder should it became known to others or the Public [or the Project simply continued], he was eliminated in order to stop the Program and/or do 'delete' what he knew from within it - in data or in techniques. I guess in typing this I thought of a third.....to send a message of deadly warning to those he was working with and his seniors - stop that line of inquiry, or else!! One wonders how his co-workers have reacted?....for similar could well happen to any of them, as well. It remains to be seen if the agents of death were internal [UK], affiliated [US] or other [many possibilities here]. Whatever he was 'on to' [wittingly or not] must have been VERY sensitive to someone or some government [or intelligence agency of]......certainly Williams did nothing 'wrong' or illegal - or that warranted his death. He was only working as instructed, most likely....and either within this work came across the delicate info, or was curious at something within his 'view' after 'cracking'....that was his undoing. It reminds me of Olsen, Kelly, Oswald, Nagell, DeMohrensheld, M.P. Meyers - and SO many [thousands] others who 'knew too much' to be 'allowed' to live. Deep Political wet jobs are all too common, and the height of evil. They must be exposed and stopped...as must those who direct them.
