2007: The Murder of Bob Woolmer

Bob Woolmer's death became a macabre worldwide sensation during the 2007 World Cup in the West Indies. Woolmer was coaching Pakistan who had been defeated by minnows Ireland in the biggest upset the tournament had ever seen.

Jamaican police announced they were treating his death as suspicious. Two nights after that, they declared it was murder.

All sorts of rumours began to circulate about match-fixing, poison, murder by an angry fan or religious zealots, and even suggestions that members of the Pakistan team could have been involved.
