It's Official; Bob Woolmer was Murdered

Putting the rumors and speculations into rest, the Jamaican police revealed that Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer was murdered by strangulation. According to the police, more than one person was involved in the murder and there were no signs of forcible entry into the hostel room. That clearly suggests that Woolmer knew the assailants very well. This shocking revelation pushed the World Cup into a deep crisis. The immediate reason behind the murder was not known. However, more skeletons will be tumbled when the investigation reaches its final stage.

According to sources in the Jamaican police, the Scotland Yard will help them to probe the incident and reach a final conclusion. The brutal murder of Bob Woolmer left many questions unanswered. It exposed the security lapse even during an all important event like the World Cup cricket. It is well known that the sub-continent players and officials are vulnerable against terrorist and mafia attacks. Still, Woolmer was not given adequate security, which led to his murder.

Just imagine if a similar incident had occurred with Inzamam, Sachin or Ganguly, what would have been the consequences? The whole cricket world would have gone into chaos. It is not clear whether any cricket players or officials are involved in this ghastly incident. The hand of the betting racket or D-gang cannot be ruled out.

The latest police reports reports revealed that some pages from the manuscript of Woolmer's autobiography are missing. It strengthens the feelings that the cricketeer-bookie nexus could have been behind Woolmer's murder. According to Pakistan's GeoTV, the Jamaican police have arrested one person with the connection of Bob's murder and the identity of the real culprit will be revealed within 10 - 12 hours. Let's hope that the truth will come out and the guilty will be brought into book soon.
