A post-mortem examination carried out by a Home Office pathologist failed to determine the cause of death, but in 2012 a coroner ruled that it was likely Williams had been unlawfully killed, before the Metropolitan Police concluded he had acted alone.
The case has become one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in recent British history, and even now, twelve years after Williams' death, the public are still waiting for answers as to what happened to the 31-year-old codebreaker who had been branded a genius since childhood.
Through interviews with former detectives, forensic investigators, MP’s and people who knew Gareth, along with archive and reconstruction this documentary will reexamine the case in a bid to get to the bottom of the events that lead to Williams’ untimely death; did he act alone or were other forces involved?
