A combination of still photographs taken from video shows a man trying to lock himself in a sports bag in this undated image provided by the Metropolitan Police.

The video was shown at the inquest into the death of MI6 officer Gareth Williams, who was found dead in his apartment locked in a similar bag.

THE LOCKED BAG RIDDLE

One key question before the inquest was whether Mr Williams had locked himself in the bag.

Expert witness Peter Faulding, shown above, said that he had tried and failed to lock the bag from inside 300 times.

"I couldn't say it's impossible, but I think even Houdini would have struggled with this one,"

 he said.

William MacKay, another expert witness, said that he and an assistant had failed in more than 100 attempts to lock the bag from inside - but couldn’t rule out that Mr Williams had been able to.
