No evidence of foul play

Jamaican police have denied there is any evidence at this stage that Bob Woolmer was murdered, contrary to media reports.

“There is no evidence it’s a homicide but we’re waiting for further information from the pathologist before making any more statements,” said Deputy Police Commissioner Mark Shields.

This was backed up by Woolmer’s widow, Gill, who believes her late husband’s death was not a result of foul play.

“I don’t see any conspiracy in his death. I am aware that his death is being viewed as a suspicious death,” she said.

“He had nothing to do with the match-fixing controversy and any such person being involved is highly unlikely. We never got any threats as far as I know.”
