British 'Spy' Found Murdered Near MI6 HQ

[English Noodles]

A man believed to be a British spy has been found murdered in a flat near the headquarters of MI6


His body was discovered on Monday afternoon stuffed into a bag and dumped in the bath at a property in Pimlico, central London.


Scotland Yard has launched a murder investigation into the incident, led by its Homicide and Serious Crime Command.


But it has declined to comment on reports that the man, believed to be in his 30s, was an employee of the British secret services.


A spokesman said the body has not yet been formally identified.


The man's body was found at an address yards from MI6 headquarters in London

A post-mortem examination is due to take place later.


Officers were called to a top-floor apartment in Alderney Street at around 4.40pm on Monday following reports that the occupant had not been seen for some time.
They discovered the body in the bathrrom and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.


Newspaper reports suggest the dead man worked for GCHQ, the Government's intelligence information arm.

But it has also been suggested that he was on secondment to MI6, the Secret Intelligence Service with a headquarters just a few hundred yards from where the body was found.


Cordons were placed around the property as officers examined the contents of the flat.


Scotland Yard says it is following up "several lines of inquiry".
If reports that the deceased man was a spy prove to be true, it will be the highest profile murder in the UK of someone linked to the secret services since that of Alexander Litvinenko.
The former KGB agent died in hospital after being poisoned by radioactive polonium-210 in 2006.

In Thailand would be ruled a suicide.

Is it unpatriotic to feel some relief at knowing the Government is not in complete control?

[forreachingme]

^what if they controlled that actually

Yea, so much for optimism.

MI6? Given their track record, I'm going with gay lovers' spat gone bad.

It was the bloke who did David Kelly. Bye bye evidence.

What do you mean exactly?

Must be a spy then, probably a love affair with a male Russian spy that went wrong.

Newspaper reports suggest the dead man worked for GCHQ, the Government's intelligence information arm.

More proof he was a gay spy.

Sigh!^

Why not come out and put something on the table instead of one word and a sarcastic emotion?

The existence of 5 double agents within the company over 60 years ago is hardly relevant.

DN said MI6, now you are talking about MI5. The picture in the article is the MI6 HQ, not MI5.

MI5 deals with threats inside the UK, and MI6 combats overseas threats. MI5 - Domestic intelligence, MI6 - foreign intelligence.

I noted that discrepancy, too.
Killed by a Russian with a loaded umbrella.

The holdall containing the body of murdered MI6 spy Gareth Williams was padlocked shut, an inquest into his death heard today.

Police found the 31-year-old dead at his Pimlico flat last month after he failed to turn up for work, a court was told. Officers have been treating his death as “unexplained” with further tests being carried out to establish exactly how he died.

But new details about the discovery of Mr Williams, who was on secondment to MI6 from GCHQ, emerged as the inquest opened at Westminster coroner's court.

The confirmation that the holdall containing his body was padlocked shut effectively rules out the possibility that Mr Williams killed himself.

Detective Chief Inspector Jacqueline Sebire of the Homicide and Serious Crime Command, who is leading the investigation, was called to give evidence at the short hearing this morning. She confirmed details put to her by Coroner Dr Paul Knapman, who referred to Mr Williams as “a civil servant”.

Dr Knapman said: “I have a brief resumé that says on Monday August 23 police were called to check on the welfare of Gareth Williams at his home address because he had not been seen at work.

“At about 6.30 that evening police entered the premises. They found a large holdall in the bath of the large en-suite bathroom of the main
bedroom.

“The holdall was padlocked shut and inside was a lifeless body, and it appeared the body was in an advanced state of decay. Murdered spy’s body was padlocked inside a holdall | News

I had to look that up, do they really want ladyboys as spies?

It was a reference to the Cambridge Five.

James Bond must be spinning in his grave knowing his place is being taken by limp wristed homosexuals and blokes who wear frocks.
