A Fresh look At The Death of Gareth Williams?

Following news that the Metropolitan Police Service is vaguely considering whether or not to follow up fresh forensic evidence in the Gareth Williams case, Medawar has considered whether to edit and update his nine-year old post "Money, Global Power and Gareth Williams". However, there's nothing about that post which has been proved wrong (because official inquiries have never even strayed in the general direction of Medawar's suspicions) or which is out of date, really, except perhaps the life/death status of some of the senior former MPS, Shin Bet and Mossad officers discussed in Medawar's original posts.

So here is a link to it!

And the links within the original post, are working as of 24/2/2021.

This post is less important, but worth a quick look too.

The following was added to the post @5:30AM on 25/2/2021:

Another of the tricks behind cover-ups and non-investigations, is to present the matter as a choice between two (or more) opposing theories, neither of which is true. In this case, Hamish Campbell, the former SIO in both the Gareth Williams and the Jill Dando cases, suggests that Gareth's death "was linked to his private life and not his work" with the implication being that it was all down to incredibly perverse sexual practices (which is another ploy for non-investigation.)

However, Gareth's "private life" largely consisted of more work, and this was true even before he joined the intelligence services. In the period 1996-2000 he was mainly gaming and hacking (in a competitive sort of way against other hackers), and this could actually have supplied him with information which made him more of a threat to powerful figures, "skilled in the black arts" than his later official work for the intelligence services would have done, because the latter was always subject to discipline and control from his superiors aimed at keeping him and the service out of danger.
