Police could name Woolmer murder suspect after UK meeting
A source close to the probe into the death of former Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer, said yesterday that a murder suspect could be named after local investigators meet today in London with Scotland Yard 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, who asked not to be named, said.
A team from the Jamaica Constabulary Force, being led by Deputy Commissioner Mark Shields and includes Deputy Superintendent Colin Pinnock, left the island yesterday evening.
The team will also meet with the British Forensic Science Service and a British pathologist who had conducted independent tests on fluid and tissue samples taken from Woolmer’s body. The pathologist also examined a post-mortem report which was handed over to investigators by local pathologist Dr Ere Seshiah.
When the Jamaican investigators are briefed they will then journey to Cape Town in South Africa to interview other persons of interest in that country.
