Bob Woolmer's murder

I know I mentioned the murder of Pakistani cricket team coach Bob Woolmer in my last post, but it looks like now, the Pakistani team is suspected to have been involved in his murder [yes, it's been determined he was definitely murdered as a result of 'manual strangulation'].

It has been reported that police are interviewing every member of the Pakistan cricket team individually as part of their investigation into the death.

Gill, Bob Woolmer's widow, said "Some of the cricketing fraternity, fans are extremely volatile and passionate about the game and what happens in the game, and also a lot of it in Asia, so I suppose there is always the possibility that it could be that." She felt it was a definite possibility for Woolmer to have been murdered, but not a possibility under any means that he had taken any illegal drugs or had committed suicide.

The Jamaica Observer and the Jamaica Gleaner both reported today that Mr Woolmer's death had been violent. The Observer said he had marks on his throat and that bones in the lower part of his face were broken, while the Gleaner said there was a broken bone in his neck.

It will be incredibly unfortunate if it turns out that members of the Pakistani cricket team were responsible for Bob Woolmer's murder.
