Murdered spy was assuming new identity

MI6 SPY Gareth Williams was training to take on a new identity eight months before he was found dead, it was reported yesterday.

And a close friend also insisted he was not gay after detectives suggested the 31-year-old may have died at the hands of a mystery bondage sex partner he met on London’s gay scene.

Sian Lloyd-Jones, 33, told the Mail on Sunday that before he died, Williams was studying for a new identity as he visited her central London flat.
