Inquest goes into another week
published: Saturday | November 24, 2007

THE coroner's inquest into the death of Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer will go into a sixth week, with coroner Patrick Murphy scheduled to continue his summary of the case on Monday.

Murphy began his summary of key evidence on Wednesday, after the last of 57 witnesses testified at the Jamaica Conference Centre, downtown Kingston.

The 11-member jury could return a verdict early next week.

Woolmer, 58, was pronounced dead at the University Hospital of the West Indies, two hours after his motionless body was discovered by a worker at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston.

Pakistan had been knocked out of the Cricket World Cup one-day earlier by Ireland, one of the tournament's unfancied teams.

Government pathologist Dr. Ere Seshaiah testified that Woolmer died from asphyxia caused by manual strangulation associated with cypermethrin poisoning.

At least three overseas pathologists dispute his analysis. They agree that Woolmer died from natural causes.
