umm smthing is fishy here... abt Mark Shields in fox sports...

Shields knew the instant he walked into a press conference and announced there was suspicion that Bob Woolmer had been murdered that he was destroying Kingston's Cricket World Cup. He was detonating cricket's version of an atom bomb and sentencing match events to small print. Suddenly, nothing else mattered in the tournament. For Shields to go that far, Jamaicans said, he must know much more than he was revealing.
and now finger printing pak players.. i think smthing is going on..Shields has already have some supects probably.. this is taking some interesting twist here.. lets see wats gonna happen... :doh:

Re: Police fingerprint Pakistan players Scotland Yard To Investigate Bob Woolmer?s Death Submitted by Sudhakar Shanbhag on Thu, 2007-03-22 09:51. The Scotland Yard will investigate the mysterious death of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer amid speculations that the former England Test player was strangled in his Kingston hotel room on Sunday. The Herald Sun reports, two detectives from London's top police service are expected to arrive in Jamaica before the end of the week to help in the investigation into the tragic death of Woolmer, who holds a British passport. That apart a Jamaican television station has already reported that Woolmer was strangled within 24 hours of Pakistan's shock World Cup loss to Ireland and other sources were supporting that claim. Pakistan Cricket Board spokesman Pervez Mir and the International Cricket Council would not comment, while Jamaica's deputy police commissioner, Mark Shields, had nothing to add a day after tagging Woolmer's death as ?suspicious?. "Until we get an official answer, we just don't know," Mir was quoted as saying in Herald Sun. Woolmer, 58, was found in a pool of blood with vomit and faeces in his bathroom in room 375 on the 12th floor of the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston. First pictures of the deceased coach appear to show cuts to his ear and eyebrow. The results of toxicology tests, which could provide a conclusive answer to whether there was foul play, have yet to be released. What will not help investigators is that surveillance cameras on the 12th floor only show the immediate area outside the lifts and stairs, but not down the corridors where a potential killer headed to Woolmer's room. It was also revealed on Wednesday that police want to talk with Pakistan team dietitian Murray Stevenson, who provided the official identification of Woolmer's body. Mir said Stevenson slept in the room next to Woolmer but did not know why police wanted to interview him. A team of 10 forensic science officers combed Woolmer's room on Wednesday. There have been suspicions his death has a link with match-fixing and that he was about to tell-all in a new book which would have implicated several Pakistani players. But that theory has been dismissed by co-author and sports scientist, Professor Tim Noakes. "There is absolutely no truth in that story. Besides, how could anyone know what's in the book. "Nobody in Pakistan could possibly have seen it,'' he said. "The only secret Bob was revealing in the book was how to coach cricketers properly."

Re: Police fingerprint Pakistan players Inquiry headed by Yard detective who took on Jamaica's gangs By Ben Fenton Last Updated: 3:40am GMT 22/03/2007 Mark Shields, Jamaica's deputy Commissioner of Police, has taken personal charge of the inquiry into how Bob Woolmer died, an indication of how important the issue is to the island nation. Mr Shields, a 48-year-old Londoner, is a highly experienced detective who served in some of the most dangerous areas of police work before going to help Jamaica overcome its reputation as the murder capital of the Caribbean. Recently described as one of the most eligible men in Jamaica, Mr Shields was a member of the City of London Police Special Branch, of Scotland Yard's Anti-Terrorist Branch and of the National Criminal Intelligence Service's drug and organised crime unit. advertisement As a detective superintendent in the Metropolitan Police serious and organised crime unit, he led several high-profile investigations, including the alleged conspiracy to kidnap Victoria Beckham. In May 2003, he went on loan for a year to the Jamaican force to help combat gang crime. He returned to the Yard as a detective chief superintendent with Special Branch and took a lead in anti-terrorism investigations. Mr Shields, who has a degree from Essex University in government and politics, returned to Jamaica in March 2005 on a three-year contract as one of three deputy commissioners. Although his salary, which reflected his London pay scales, initially caused an upset in Jamaica, Mr Shields has quickly become a popular figure. He told a local paper he was "astounded" by the way he was received. "Wherever I go, people recognise me and want to speak to me. I still find it hard to get used to. "I enjoy it because 99.99 per cent of the people are warm, friendly and congratulatory in terms of what we're doing. "I get an immense amount of encouragement from that, because it is a challenging job."

Re: Police fingerprint Pakistan players

Mark Shields has just said that none of the Pakistani team members are suspects and that they are free to leave the country.
How can this possibility be ruled out with autopsy being inconclusive and all? :chin:

Re: Police fingerprint Pakistan players Cricketers Fingerprinted Updated: 19:14, Thursday March 22, 2007 Sky News has learnt that the Pakistan cricket team is being fingerprinted and has been asked to make statements to police over the death of their coach, Bob Woolmer. The team's departure from Kingston, Jamaica, for Montego Bay has been delayed, according to the team's media manager PJ Mir. "It looks like it's going to be a murder inquiry," he told Sky's Paul Harrison. The former England cricketer was found unconscious in Jamaica on Sunday and police are treating the death as "suspicious". Officers are waiting for the results of toxicology tests to confirm how he died but have denied reports that he was found with a broken bone in his neck. Gill Woolmer Mr Woolmer's widow told Sky News she has not ruled out the possibility that he could have been murdered. Gill Woolmer said she thought the 58-year-old died of a heart attack but could not discount more sinister possibilities. She said some cricket fans in Pakistan are "extremely volatile" and the murder theory "fills her with horror". However, she rejected suggestions that her husband committed suicide after getting involved with alleged match-fixing. Mr Woolmer was found collapsed in his hotel room a day after his Pakistan side was knocked out of the cricket World Cup following defeat to rank outsiders Ireland. He was taken to hospital but did not recover. http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-1257003,00.html
