The investigations into Bob Woolmer’s murder have suffered a setback with the police revealing that they may have to wait for another two months to get the toxicology reports of the Pakistan coach.

The tests are crucial for ascertaining the exact time and cause of Woolmer’s death, three weeks after his body was discovered in a Kingston hotel following Pakistan’s shocking first round exit from the World Cup.

The Jamaica Police are still to zero in on any suspect and find out the motive for the crime.

“It’s in everyone’s interest to know exactly when he died and how. But frustrating as it may be, science goes at a certain pace,” Jamiaca’s Deputy Commissioner of Police Mark Shields was quoted as saying in ‘The Times’.

Despite recent media reports expressing doubts on the police’s assertion of the death being a murder, the investigators remained adamant that Woolmer was strangulated to death and say “factors known only to them suggest foul play.”

Meanwhile, Shields said the results of the CCTV footage from the hotel have been encouraging.

“They (the Met police) are doing quickly what we would do more slowly. They have more resources and more practice at putting it together,” he said.

The Jamaica Police will also be sending a team to Pakistan to question the country’s cricketers after “ambiguities” came to light in their initial statements to the police.
