The stuff of movies.


'Unexplained' DNA on bag containing dead MI6 spy Gareth Williams
Title. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17826633  24-04-2012


The 23rd of August 2011 the body of a spy was found in a bag in the bathroom in his apartment. The bag was found locked and was situated in the bathtub. The bag seemed to be locked from the inside and no huge signs of a struggle were present at the scene. Mr Williams was found with a calm look on his face with the keys of the padlock that was used to close the bag inside it within reach. Unsure about the cause of death and puzzled by the circumstances investigators continued their search for clues and have know found small traces of unexplained DNA on the padlock and the bag’s zipper. This new evidence seems to support the victims’ family’s suspicions that a third party was involved in the death of their son.

 This for me is, however terrible it is for the victim and his family, a fantastic story. I love mysteries and spy stories on TV and in the movies and this article really got my imagination going crazy. What happened here?  Was the victim a spy like on the BBC series Spooks? What more will they find out, or will this case remain unsolved? All the while not forgetting that this actually happened of course. Which brings me to the next reason why this is such an amazing article: THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Unbelievable. Truth is stranger than fiction!

  1. This is a perfect story for a movie.There is an unsolved mystery and there are very few signs for an actual killer to be involved. I really hope that in real life the case will be solved even if it was only for the relatives. On the other hand, if somebody got killed I think justice must take place. Even with as little evidence as this particular case there should be some important signs that can lead investigators to the killers. I can't believe that in this era of technology and high-tech equipment murder cases remain unsolved.
