The suspicion that Bob Woolmer was killed by the betting mafia intensified today with the Pakistan coach’s own words cited to suggest he was about to blow the whistle on match-fixing.
Woolmer had sent the email to senior Pakistani journalist Osman Samiuddin (Cricinfo Editor), seeking his help to write a book “so that I can cover probably one of the more interesting periods of my cricket career”.
“I shall only start after the World Cup.… I believe, regardless of the money, the story is worth telling, has to be told and in the correct way. I am not a name and shame guy, just the honest facts. Let the punter make up his mind etc,” the email, sent on September 18 last year, said.

The police are looking into this. A source said Woolmer had been distressed after being told by a friend about suspicious movements in Mumbai’s betting markets a month before the Ireland game.
