Every one isn't speculating. Stop acting innocent and justifying yourself. You have been told by several members but you keep repeating.

Yeah. Apparently GEO Tv made that claim regarding the arrest and the rumour went on for 2 hours or so every where.

When I heard of Bobs death I was shocked and suspicious. For the coach of Pakistan to pass away so suddenly after such a dramatic and suprising result, my first thought was he was met with foul play.
To hear that he was murdered is just sad. It is only a cricket game (I know some people take it very serious) but really if you want to blame someone, blame the players more then the coach. They are out on the field.
I read about autobiography, was he exposing people involved in match fixing? And pages were missing? IF he was good on him for trying to expose but pity it cost him his life.

Whatever it takes!!!
Well, I suppose Sarfraz was right in this instance, at least to the extent that it is now confirmed that Woolmer was killed.
This is the most depressed I have ever been w.r.t cricket.

Me too. I feel sick in the guts. No game of cricket is worth a person's life.Well, I suppose Sarfraz was right in this instance, at least to the extent that it is now confirmed that Woolmer was killed.

I just don't know what to say. it was bad enough when I thought it was a jock Stein style heart-attack..but this
I don't want to specualte but as the police seem to think there was no forced entry (and there seemed to be nothing stolen) we're dealing with a nut job fan or some people who wanted to shut him up. I don't want to add to speculation so I'll just ask: Is it true that after the game against Ireland fans in Pakistan were chanting "Death to Bob Woolmer"? If so I hope they are ashamed of themselves One other point: I feel sorry for Ireland in all this. How long before someone says that game was dodgy? (I'm not going to speculate but I bet someone will).

Plenty of people I have spoken with, seen written on other forums etc have already suggested the game was dodgy. Maybe there might be a history there, but Ireland got them on a green wicket and bowled and field well. The only dodgy thing that game out of it was that they lost, hence why I think a bookmakers has gone after Woolmer (speculation that the murder/s were bookmakers/involved with bookmakers).
Why the coach though? He wasn't on the pitch, he didn't have hardly any control as to what went on during the game. Why didnt they target the players? Or was it because of his book he was going to write.

A friend of mine has just suggested that Woolmer was killed because he was about to expose some sort of match-fixing conspiracy. Seems to fit, although there's absolutely nothing substantial behind it.
