It was murder, insists Seshaiah

Indian-born pathologist Dr Ere Seshaiah, whose autopsy report guided the Jamaican police to look at the murder angle after the mysterious death of Bob Woolmer, stuck to his finding that the Pakistan cricket coach was murdered.

A day after the Jamaican police concluded that Woolmer’s death was natural and that it was closing the case, Seshaiah said: “I am sticking to my findings. He was murdered. I am confident he was murdered. Woolmer is not a first for me, I have been doing autopsies here since 1995,” Seshaiah was quoted as saying by the Jamaica Observer.

Declaring Woolmer’s death as natural, after pursuing it as murder for almost three months, Jamaican Constabulary Force (JCF) commissioner Lucius Thomas yesterday said three foreign pathologists and toxicology tests had ruled out any foul play in the death of the Pakistani coach on March 18.

Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner Mark Shields refused to step down in the wake of the wrong judgement.
