'No breakthroughs' in Woolmer murder investigation

Investigators have not made any breakthroughs into the killing of Pakistan World Cup cricket coach Bob Woolmer, more than three weeks after he was found strangled to death.

Jamaican police, four Scotland Yard detectives and an Interpol investigator have been examining security-camera footage from the Kingston hotel where Woolmer was found on March 18. They are also awaiting the results of a toxicology report, said police spokesman Karl Angell .

Pakistan’s team manager has left Jamaica, but at least one Pakistani diplomat has stayed to observe the investigation, Angell said.

Woolmer, who was born in India of English parents, died a day after his team lost to Ireland in a stunning upset that eliminated Pakistan from the cricket World Cup which is being played out in the Caribbean.

A pathologist who conducted Woolmer’s post-mortem initially ruled his death was “inconclusive” but announced four days later that he had been strangled.
