'Woolmer's killer came from outside Jamaica'
The way in which the Pak coach was murdered has led the Jamaican police to believe that the killer came from outside the Caribbean country.
LONDON: The modus operandi of Bob Woolmer's murderer has convinced the Jamaican police that the killer came from outside the Caribbean country.
Mark Shields, Jamaica's deputy commissioner and the chief investigator in the case, told the BBC that nine murder cases had been registered across the country on March 18, the day of Woolmer’s murder.
"But the difference between Bob Woolmer's murder and most of these is that Jamaican killers tend to use knives or guns.
Meanwhile, Pakistan team's media manager in the World Cup, PJ Mir, told the programme that Woolmer felt players were focussing more on religion than their game. He went on to claim that Woolmer could have even invited a fatwah had he gone public with his feelings.
Recalling an incident, Mir said, "A CD was being played which was a Tabliqhy CD and Bob, who was sitting behind me, said, 'Why don't you tell them to stop? If they want to listen to that they could on their iPods or personal devices', and he thought that he shouldn't be subjected to all that and I agreed with Bob."

The fact that Bob Woolmer was strangled has led the police here to conclude that his killer came from outside Jamaica," Shields reasoned.
