MI-6: A Life and A Death in the Shadows. Gareth Williams.

I realize there is never going to be much information available regarding the murder of any MI-6 agent, but I wonder about this thousands of pounds worth of ladies undergarments involved in the Gareth Williams murder. A peculiar hobby? An interest in fashion design? An undercover assignment? I don't know. I do wonder, however, why they were all new. If it were a hobby such as wood working, you could go into his garage and find new tools and old tools. An artist would have a mixture of new paints or brushes and old ones and so on. No hobbyist sinks several grand into anything at once. He builds up over a period of time. He has favorite items and momentos that he hangs on to even though they are past their prime as to usefulness. Nothing about the questionable items the decedent had amongst his effects rings true. Something is quite terribly amiss. And the truth is being suppressed.

With all those bras and panties being brand new, there has to have been some ulterior motive involved. He may indeed have had an unusual lifestyle, but if he had an interest in ladies underwear why is it the items in his possession were all brand new and there was not one that was old. Most hobbyists of any sort acquire various items related to their hobbies over an extended period of time, yet when he was murdered the MI-6 agent had a host of unusual items but each and everyone was suspiciously brand new. I am informed that news reports using the term "new" may have meant apparently unworn but I am also informed that the items in question were in fact new, that is they were both unworn and also of a recent style and recent manufacture. So if the presence of the garments is meant to indicate he possessed certain interests it would seem strange that these interests only arose in the few months prior to his murder.

The evidence indicates rather strongly that the purchases were to be gifts to his sister who had the intention of starting a fashion business.

The intense heat of the apartment indicates someone wanted decomposition to be accelerated which of course suggests a murder rather than death by misadventure.

Recent allegations of working on tying Putin to financial transfers may indeed be correct but are unsupported by any evidence.
