AFTER more than a month of investigations, including the assistance of Britain’s Scotland Yard and the Pakistani police, no suspect has been identified in the murder of Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer.

“Everybody could be a suspect or a witness,” said Jamaica’s Deputy Commissioner of Police Mark Shields, the lead investigator in the March 18 murder of Woolmer at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in Kingston.

“.We are still asking for people [who can assist] to come forward,” Shields pleaded at a press conference yesterday in Kingston, the Jamaican capital.

Shields said the CCTV camera footage “may or may not assist in the investigation” because the cameras were unable to capture persons entering or exiting the hotel rooms.

Deputy inspector general of the Pakistani police Mir Zubair Mahmood, who was also in attendance at yesterday’s press conference, said despite the fact that the police were no closer to making an arrest he was “fully satisfied that the investigation is heading in the right direction”.

Zubair Mahmood and Kaleem Imam, senior superintendent of Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency, came to the island three weeks ago to assist with the investigation.

Woolmer was found unconscious in his hotel room and later pronounced dead at hospital.

In the meantime, Woolmer’s body left the island yesterday for London, en route to South Africa where he lived with his family.

Here, the casket containing the late coach’s body is about to be placed in a hearse at Roman’s Funeral Home in Kingston, from where it was transported to the Norman Manley International Airport.
