RIP - Bob Woolmer

Its pretty shocking news. Sounds weird that there wasn't a struggle.

[Clunk]

Aparently, the police are stumped.

I hope they get the dastards.

Must have been a few of them to take him down, he was a big unit.

Aparently, the police are stumped.

They have pitched a few theories for consideration, although they are keeping it under covers.

Big unit? what you saying like a "big kitchen sink unit?" Wheres that from?

as "The deputy commissioner of the Jamaican police, Mark Shields" says. "Bob was a large man. It would have taken some significant force to subdue him,"

this has got pretty depressing now

Thanks mate, for clearing that up, never heard that term before. Your right though this is a very sad thing to happen to a good man, Just dont believe this though, it's just not right. Not real

I bet it's got nothing to do with match-fixing. Criminals don't turn up to muder someone without a weapon.

It'll have been a fight with someone he knew that got out of hand.

[MadduckUK]

mm... broken bones are out of hand, strangulation seems a lot more clear cut intent

[No.72]

Well whoever killed him did it because they were angry with him (obviously) but it suggests that the man/men who killed him were directly involved with the events leading up to his murder. What I am trying to say is I don't think it was a ordered kill or contract kill by a gang but by a person/persons who have lost something and they wanted revenge. (sorry if it makes no sense. )

[zashark]

Yeah the punks knew what they were doing, cant just stick your hands around someone's neck, without a struggle Poor guy must have knew em

[MadduckUK]

not necessarily tho, if someone was to blag there way into his room in a "im here to check your meter" way (but obviously not saying that) then that would do it.

The conclusion appears to be that Bob Woolmer died of natural causes:

Quote: "Jamaican police are to announce next week that Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer died of natural causes and was not murdered as they had initially stated, Britain's Daily Mail said on Saturday.

Citing a source close to the inquiry, the newspaper says Jamaican authorities will say they are no longer treating the death suspiciously and that the 58-year-old died of heart failure brought on by ill health and possibly diabetes."
