LOCAL POLICE remained tight-lipped on the Bob Woolmer investigation yesterday, despite a report carried by The Sunday Times newspaper in London, that the 'bungling' detectives may have based their case on errors by forensic pathologist, Dr. Ere Sheshiah.

There will be no further comment until investigators have received the report from the Scotland Yard review team sent to assist the investigation, said Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) Director of Communications, Karl Angell.

"We are allowing the experts to do their work, and when they finish and give us the report, then we will take action," said Mr. Angell. He added that the police were hoping to receive the report by the end of the month.

Foreign media reports have been increasingly critical of the JCF amid local calls for investigators to give an update on the case, which has cast a cloud over Jamaica and Cricket World Cup 2007.

The Sunday Gleaner recently revealed that investigators were now considering that Mr. Woolmer died of natural causes and not asphyxiation by strangulation, as announced by Police Commissioner Lucius Thomas.

Scotland Yard, which had its own forensic experts analyse tissue samples, are reported to have said that Mr. Woolmer died of a heart attack.
