The Pakistan cricket team today demanded an apology from the Jamaican police, as speculation grew that officers will announce coach Bob Woolmer was not murdered.

Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer was poisoned before being strangled, apparently rendering him unable to fight back, according to a BBC programme.

The man in charge of the Bob Woolmer murder inquiry has described claims by Pakistan team spokesman PJ Mir that the World Cup party are not suspects as “a pretty inaccurate statement”.

Police hunting the killer of Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer are scouring CCTV footage and other electronic records today for clues.
