it does seem a very odd way to 'do someone in'
but then as the security services recruit from public boarding schools, is it that surprising if one of their hitmen thinks this is normal behavior
Captain, I don't think they recruit their 'hitmen' straight from kings college.
if rumours are to believed it is almost certainly from Queens 😉

Peter Faulding, an expert on confined spaces says he is convinced Mr Williams was dead before he was put inside the bag.Mr Faulding said he had tried and failed 300 times. "Even Harry Houdini wouldn't have managed it," he said.
Even Harry Houdini wouldn't have managed it,"
He'd really struggle the guy's been dead years.
Did anyone really think the public would be told the truth on this?
Seems to me he was deliberately killed in a manner that was difficult to explain, presumably as a double f-you to MI6 or some other agency.
I'm pretty sure there are people who know exactly why he was killed and I'm likewise sure the general public won't know for decades, if ever.
In fairness he was a keen cyclist
If someone had wanted him dead they just had to run him over and come up with some pish about sun in their eyes.
No one would have batted an eyelid
This was the same bloke whose landlady had to untie him from his bed and in whose room £20,000 worth of women's clothes were found. Just saying, like.
Who was also extremely intelligent (genius?) and would have loved nothing more than posing an unsolvable puzzle upon his death?
In the interest of investigation, I am now writing this message from inside a bag. I don't know if there is any DNA on the padlock though and I am struggling to work out how I can get out of the bag to check...
Get out of my bag dirtycrewdom.
Um,...well therein lies the problem.

Williams tried 301 times....
That's not a key under your buttock eitherdirtycrewdom - Member

Heaven knows this isn't a laughing matter, but I'm still chuckling over this turn of phrase;
would an agency like MI6 really choose locking-someone-in-a-bag-to-death
This is the funniest thread about someone's death all year. Well done folks!
Maybe it was the ghost of David Kelly wot dun it? 🙂
Mr Faulding said he had tried and failed 300 times. "Even Harry Houdini wouldn't have managed it," he said.
Mr Faulding obviously doesn't have an iPhone with YouTube app installed.
I found out how to do it in about 30 seconds.
Can't get out now though ! can someone come to the Linton Travel Tavern and help me (Off Junction 9 of the M11, the Linton Travel Tavern is equidistant between Norwich and London)
Room 34.
Hurry up please.
This is the funniest thread about someone's death all year. Well done folks!
unless you happen to know the person.... 🙁
Maybe he constructed some 'gizmo' from cotton and spaghetti that could enable him to lock the padlock from inside the bag. He then pulled the gizmo inside the bag and ate it to destroy the evidence. He could then take a lethal dose of poison (in the form of a tablet) so that it wasn't a long death.
Personally I think that the 'run away in a burqa' bloke will be the next to be found in a locked holdall. He was planning to sue MI5 or something http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/nov/13/terror-suspect-burqa-mi5-rendition
This threads is appalling .
Wanders off muttering ****ers under his breath.
unless you happen to know the person...
Luckily we don't, so it's ok.
funny-- when people on here know of others misfortune they are full of support and messages of sympathy-- gareth deserves at least some dignity
