Suspicious Circumstances?

Shhhh! That sound you hear is the collectively held breath of every Caribbean leader as they await conclusive news on what really happened to Bob Woolmer.

Last night Jamaican police reported that Woolmer's death was being treated as suspicious and some websites are reporting today that confirmations have been made that police are treating it as a murder case. Check the Caribbeancricket.com articles on the incident.

Initially thought to be the result of natural causes this death puts a complete damper on World Cup proceedings.

Also from a PR perspective this is just really bad for the Caribbean as a whole. Sorry to be so callous about the loss of life but the Caribbean will be feeling a fallout from this incident for a long time. Security was breached somehow at a reportedly high security tournament. It just looks bad all around.

Hope there is a CSI Jamaica that can solve this crime quickly and conclusively. As Kami said this definitely isn't what we wanted this World Cup to be remembered for.
