| Police closing in on the Woolmer killers
A Pakistan Television station has just rocked the cricket-loving nation with news that the champagne bottles found in Bob Woolmer’s room were passed on to him by Pakistan’s bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed.
The champagne bottles have become a significant part of the investigation after the Sunday Times quoted a Jamaican police source that high concentration of weed killer was found in Woolmer’s stomach.
"Everything was contaminated," the police source told the Sunday Times. "The stomach content, the glass, everything. There was enough to kill him."
ARY TV quoted the team’s media manager, Pervez Mir, that Ahmed received the bottles from “some other people” and passed them on to Woolmer. The exchange was witnessed by team manager Talat Ali. According to the report, Mir went on to say that only Mushtaq and Talat know the identity of this person.
Mushtaq, who played 52 Tests and 144 one-day internationals for Pakistan, has said that he is “not worried” by the revelations. The bottles were reportedly given to him by people of “Pakistan origin based in England” but Mushtaq refuses to reveal their identity as he fears their names would be “unnecessarily tarnished".
It’s further claimed that Woolmer picked up the bottles four days before his death, which was also before Pakistan’s shock loss to Ireland in the World Cup.
Meanwhile the Jamaican Observer is reporting that a suspect could be named in the case after a high-level meeting today in London between Jamaican investigators and Scotland Yard’s detective superintendent John Sweeney.
“I am not saying much, only that the case will be closer to closure after that high-level meeting," the source told the newspaper.
