While Gareth Williams' family try to come to terms with his death, they're also trying to make sense of what they see as a smear 1 campaign. Their son’s body was found on Monday stuffed into a bag and left in the bath of his rented flat. Since then, police have been combing through the property in Pimlico, central London; detectives' looking to unravel 2 what is still officially an unexplained and suspicious death.

An inconclusive postmortem, and no sign of forced entry at the flat, have left gaps in the investigation 3. That void has been filled with lurid 4 suggestions, often from anonymous 5 sources. His families in North Wales have said, “The continuous speculation 6 in the press about his private life has been very distressing 7. Gareth who is a generous,loving son, brother, and friend, and he was a very private person. He was a great athlete and loves cycling and music. They went on, his loss has devastated 8 us. And we would ask anyone with information come forward to assist the police with their inquiry 9.

The 30-year-old was just days from finishing his comment in London with MI6. He was about to return to his main job at GCHQ in Cheltenham.

It had been suggested that Mr. Williams had been dead for two weeks before his body was found. The police have established that he was in London a week and a half earlier on Wednesday the 11th of August. And they know that the last sighting of him was on Sunday the 15th, a weekend day before his body was discovered, what they haven't disclosed is who saw him, was it CCTV, a witness, or something else. By his nature and by necessity of his job, Gareth Williams was a private man; toxicology test results on his body will be the next step for detectives who will concentrate on the facts, rather on the speculations 10
