BBC claims tests show Woolmer was drugged

April 30, 2007

 

A BBC television investigation into the death of Bob Woolmer, shown

on Monday night, claimed that toxicology tests support earlier

reports that he was poisoned before being strangled.

 

The Panorama programme said that there is evidence of a drug being

present in his system that would have incapacitated him.

 

" It now seems certain that as he was being strangled, he'd already

been rendered helpless, leaving him unable to fight back, " said Adam

Parsons, the show's producer. " The specific details of that poison

are now very likely to offer a significant lead to finding his

murderer. "

 

Parsons' programme also claimed that while Woolmer had a good

relationship with his players, there were deep religious divides

inside the Pakistan team and that Woolmer was growing increasingly

frustrated with the effect this was having on the side.

 

An example given was that players left the field to be replaced by

substitutes to enable them to pray during matches. " He was totally

against it, " said Pervez Mir, Pakistan's media manager. " He felt he

shouldn't really be subjected to it. I agreed with him. "

 

Mir also said that there were players who preferred to " pray not

play " , and he revealed that his comments had led to him receiving

death threats on his return home.
