As I was saying...

Bob Woolmer WASN'T murdered, police will reveal | News | This is London

Cricket coach Bob Woolmer died of natural causes, police will admit next week. In a humiliating U-turn leaving them open to worldwide ridicule, Jamaican police are to announce that his death is no longer being treated as murder. Instead, officers believe he died of heart failure brought on by chronic ill-health and possibly diabetes. The sensational twist follows an extensive review of the evidence led by a senior Scotland Yard murder squad detective.

Mmmm. This was what I posted on Friday March 24th:

But there is something about this that doesn't seem to hang together for me. It's totally irrational, of course, but my gut instinct is telling me that this wasn't a murder at all. I shall probably wake up tomorrow to find half the Pakistan team under arrest but for the moment I just cannot shake this doubt I have about the murder claims. Just a few things that trouble me: no struggle and, apparently, no other injuries to Woolmer apart from the fractured hyoid bone in his neck (admittedly a classic symptom of manual strangulation). Although his death must have occured between about 4am and 8am there were no sounds, no raised voices heard. There was no break in. And Woolmer was a big, strong guy. Strangulation is not a common method of killing a man...
