STORY: "M16 code expert Gareth Williams 'previously found tied to bed,' "published by the Guardian on April 25, 2012.
GIST: "O'Toole asked if Broster could guarantee evidence was not tampered with during the several days before police retrieved William's electronic equipment from SIS (Security Intelligence Services) and GCHQ.He said he had been assured it had not. "So, its almost an Old Boys act. They told you that and you accepted?" said O'Toole. "Certainly not, said Broster. They're a responsible organisation."".........Gareth Williams's decomposed body was found in the bag in the bath at his home in Pimlico on 23 August 2010, and 21 months later police remain baffled over the circumstances of his death. But his former landlady, Jennifer Elliot, told the inquest that three years before his death, she and her husband had heard Williams call for help at 1.30am from the annex flat he was renting from them in Cheltenham, where he worked at GCHQ. They let themselves in with the spare key and found the codes expert lying on his back on the bed, in boxer shorts, with his hands tied to the bed posts with material so tight it had cut his wrists. In a statement read to the inquest, Elliot said she and her husband had both been in shock. Her husband asked Williams: "What the bloody hell are you doing?" Williams told them: "I just wanted to see if could get myself free."
