Spy's death had 'no link' to intelligence work

A counter-terrorism detective has told the Gareth Williams inquest that the death of the MI6 spy was not connected to his intelligence work. The body of Mr Williams was found in a bag in his flat in Pimlico in 2010.

Detective Superintendent Michael Broster told the inquest he had examined information about Mr Williams from MI6 and GCHQ and he did not think there was a link between his work and his death. Mr Williams worked for GCHQ but was on a secondment to MI6 when he died.
