Indian bookie's hand in Woolmer's murder?

March 27, 2007 02:12 IST

The night before his murder, Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer had a blazing argument with an Indian bookmaker in his hotel room, a newspaper report said.

Quoting a senior government official, the Guardian newspaper reported that two Pakistan players told Jamaican police that Woolmer had a blazing argument with a bookmaker based in Mumbai on Saturday night.

"Bob Woolmer said he had just thrown a bookie out of his room. He didn't give any reasons," the official said.

Pakistan has asked to send a detective to Jamaica to investigate what it claims were links between an Indian bookmaker and the murder, the report said.

However, Shields, the former Scotland Yard superintendent who is No 2 in the Jamaican police force, said he was unaware of any bookmakers having stayed at the Pegasus, or any suggestions of Indian involvement.

Indian cricket officials also dismissed the allegations as "speculation and stories", the newspaper wrote.

The plot thickens.

Pakistani players suspended after Woolmer death

By Cole Moreton

Published: 01 April 2007

The controversy surrounding the murder of Bob Woolmer, Pakistan's English cricket coach suspected of being strangled amid allegations of match-fixing, took an extraordinary new twist last night when the Pakistan Cricket Board suspended all the players' contracts.

[...]

Some suspect Mr Woolmer may have been about to tell the world that various members of the Pakistan team, or of the South Africa side that he led before, were corrupt.

[...]

Yesterday the Pakistan Cricket Board said no player would be allowed to speak to Jamaican police again without a lawyer present. Two players have told police the coach had a blazing row with a notorious bookmaker on the eve of the Ireland match. They said the bookie was an associate of Dawood Ibrahim, one of India's most wanted men alleged to be involved in organised crime and terrorism. Mr Ibrahim's brother was also said to be in Jamaica when Bob Woolmer died.

I did. I think people tend to play up the link between Dawood Ibrahim and AQ. Dawood is just a money #######, he's no religious fanatic.
