PAKISTAN cricket team media manager Pervez Mir on Wednesday said that government pathologist Dr Ere Seshaiah should be sued for misleading police investigators by concluding that former Pakistan cricket team coach, Bob Woolmer, had been murdered.

“Here we have an incompetent man who has led everybody on a wild goose chase. This man has done Jamaica more harm than Bob Woolmer’s death [has],” Mir said in a telephone interview.

“It’s actually the pathologist who put the police on the wrong trails. He didn’t do it right. He messed it up,” Mir said, adding that Seshaiah’s blunder had marred the Cricket World Cup.

On Tuesday, Police Commissioner Lucius Thomas announced that based on the reports of three other pathologists, Woolmer, who was found dead in his hotel room on March 18, had in fact died of heart complications.

Seshaiah has since said he is sticking to his report that the former coach had died of asphyxia due to manual strangulation.

Since news broke that Woolmer might have died of natural causes, pressure has been mounting in Pakistan from current and former cricketers that the Jamaican police be sued for damaging the reputation of the country and for treating the players like criminals, fingerprinting and questioning them.

Wednesday, Mir said whatever legal action was necessary should be taken against the pathologist “whether this legal action comes from the West Indies Cricket Board, the Pakistan Cricket Board, the ICC (International Cricket Council), the Jamaican police or Government, no matter where it comes from,” he said.

Head of the Pakistan Cricket Board Dr Nasim Ashraf said, however, that the Board was happy that the case had been closed and had no interest in suing anyone.

“We are very glad that this thing is over. Now the truth has been revealed, I believe we should move on for the sake of Bob Woolmer and for the sake of Pakistan cricket,” Ashraf told the Observer in a telephone interview.

Meanwhile, head of the Jamaica Bar Association John Leiba, said the likelihood of success for a suit against the police or Seshaiah would be very little.

“It is not easy to get a claim against the police unless you can prove malice,” Leiba said, adding that success in such a case would depend on proof that the police had unreasonable grounds for carrying out a particular investigation.
