 In a sensational twist in the mystery surrounding Bob Woolmer's death, Jamaican police today said after autopsy that it was "suspicious" and were launching a "full investigation" into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

"The autopsy report was inconclusive on the cause of the death. Having met with the pathologists and other medical personnel, there is sufficient information to continue a full investigation into the circumstances of Woolmer's death which is now being treated as suspicious," Mark Shields, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Jamaica, said in a statement yesterday.

 "We have already informed the Woolmer family of this development and we are also in close contact with the Pakistan team management, Cricket World Cup and the ICC to ensure all parties are kept informed of the ongoing investigation."

Asked at a press conference whether Woolmer's death could be murder, Shields said, "it was too early to speculate."

He promised to keep the media updated on the developments.
