Woolmer murder: CCTV footage sent to Britain

Footage of the CCTV on the 12th floor of the Jamaica Pegasus hotel, where the body of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer was found dead, has been sent to sent to a laboratory in Britain by Scotland Yard detectives.

The Jamaica Gleaner newspaper quoted a member of the investigative team who stressed that experts in the Britain will take a deeper look at the footage, among other items of interest.

The team of investigators probing the Woolmer murder case were locked in a meeting until late Tuesday night and the reports said it was nearing some conclusion on the case. Local detectives earlier had spent hours transferring the footage from VHS tape into a digital format.

Reports regarding the CCTV footage not being very clear were, however, once again denied by Deputy Commissioner of Police Mark Shields who said he could easily identify people who traversed the corridor on the 12th floor.

The four Scotland Yard detectives who are on the island assisting with the Woolmer investigation were invited at the request of Police Commissioner Lucius Thomas.

Woolmer was found unconscious in his hotel room (Room 374) Sunday, March 18, 2007. Later that day he was pronounced dead. Initially, his death was deemed not suspicious but local police, through the use of forensic evidence, later concluded that he was murdered.
