Unexplained death, hotel room and I think suitcase?

Sorry for the convoluted title.

Just watching Killing Eve with dh and we got chatting about unexplained murders and he asked me if I think there are organisations that have assassins that go around killing people.

I said yes and mentioned the Russian man who died of poisoning and then the man that was murdered but they classed it as suicide? I think there was a suitcase in that case as well?

I can't for the life of me remember their names and when I Google I'm not getting any results.

Could someone help me out and tell me their names please?

There was a bloke from mi5 I think that they ruled as a suicide even though he was locked in a holdall.

Do you mean this chap?

The Russian who died of poisoning was Litvinenko.
I know the one you mean about the guy who was found dead in a suitcase. I can’t remember the name though... wasn’t he in a suitcase which was sealed, and he also worked for Mi5 or something like that

The chap was Gareth Williams. Poor soul.
I wonder if the cover up will ever come out.

Sorry saw you already mentioned MI5 Blush.

I think the Russian man was called Litvenenko and the other guy was someone like David Kelly?

PlanDeRaccordement · 10/05/2020 22:38

Of course there are assassins. How can anyone question their existence!

Alexander Litvinenko died of polonium poisoning.
Dr David Kelly supposedly shot himself.
Can't remember what the holdall guy was called.
Presumably there have been others

David Kelly supposedly took his own life after cutting his left wrist.

There was also the death of Hilda Murrell, which I remember well, rest her soul.
