A forensic review of the death of the MI6 worker Gareth Williams, whose body was found inside a zipped holdall at his London flat, has not uncovered fresh evidence to suggest he was with someone else when he died, the Metropolitan police have said.

Williams, 31, from Anglesey, was last seen alive on 15 August 2010. Eight days later, he was found dead inside a zipped and padlocked red North Face holdall in an empty bath at his central London flat. His body was badly decomposed after remaining in the bag in the August heat until he was discovered. Tests found no traces of alcohol, drugs or poison in his body.
