Description

On August 23, 2010, police discovered the body of MI6 spy Gareth Williams locked inside a gym bag in his London flat. The brilliant mathematician and GCHQ codebreaker was found naked, decomposing, padlocked from the outside in a red North Face holdall. The key was inside the bag, under his body.



Two forensic experts attempted to replicate the scenario 400 times. They failed every single time.

Was it murder? An accident? Russian intelligence assassination? Even the coroner and Metropolitan Police can't agree.
