( L - R ) Smith , Woolmer

Minister of National Security Derrick Smith is expected to make a statement regarding the findings of Justice Ian Forte's administrative review of the investigation into the death of Pakistan cricket coach, Bob Woolmer.

Justice Forte, a former High Court judge, headed a commission that was mandated by former National Security Minister Dr. Peter Phillips to review the Woolmer case and give a report as to what went wrong during the police investigation. Justice Forte submitted the report to the ministry exactly three weeks after initially missing the July 31 deadline.

Not yet reviewed the report

Permanent Secretary in the National Security Ministry, Gilbert Scott, said the minister had not yet reviewed the report.

"He (Mr. Smith) will eventually review the report, it is on a list of priorities, but not at the top of the list," Mr. Scott said.

The permanent secretary said the minister might not be able to review Justice Forte's report for some weeks.

At the same time, a coroner's inquest into the death of Woolmer is still set for October 16 at the Jamaica Conference Centre, downtown Kingston.

Coroner Patrick Murphy will preside at the inquest, which is being held to determine the conditions under which Mr. Woolmer died on March 18.

The Crown is expected to call more than 50 people to testify.
