Well that's bad news in all sorts of ways. I hope that they're able to find the people responsible & prevent further attacks. This does not bode well for the wikisnots.
By press accounts he was GCHQ seconded to MI6.Quote:

My mistake on who the man in question worked for professionally, I thought the article was saying he worked for MI6 directly.Quote:

Pardon my cynicism, but no matter what the actual truth is, I doubt that it'll be reported as such in this case. Try getting a straight answer on what happened to Lionel Crabb.Quote:

Gareth Williams was found dead in a flat rented from a company called New Rodina. Details of the company ownership are hidden because it is registered in the British Virgin Islands and not listed with Companies House.
Land registry documents show property was bought for £675,250 in 2000 with a mortgage from the Royal Bank of Scotland and remortgaged twice, in September 2005 and February 2006.
