Still no evidence to prove Woolmer was murdered

LAHORE: In a new twist to the Bob Woolmer murder saga, the two Pakistani sleuths, who travelled to Jamaica to assist their Jamaican counterparts, have told the Interior Ministry in its report that there is still no hard evidence to prove that the late coach was murdered.

According to sources, the two detectives - Mir Zubair and Syed Kaleem Imam - have informed the ministry in a 40-page report that Jamaican authorities are yet to find any conclusive evidence that could prove that Woolmer was strangled, 'The News' reported. 

Mir Zubair, who was also the chief investigator in the 2002 murder case of US journalist Daniel Pearl in Karachi, said he and fellow investigator Kaleem Imam had based their report on whatever they had seen and been briefed in Kingston by the Jamaican authorities.

The two investigators, who had gone to Kingston on April 10, have submitted their report yesterday to Interior Secretary Syed Kamal Shah in Islamabad.
