I wont be surprised if the same happened this time. There had been strong suggestions of a murder and the investigating authorities have failed to produce an explanation.

1. Who gave Mushtaq poisoned bottle that he passed on to Woolmer and why? Someone playing a practical joke?
2. Why did some PCB officials and players change rooms so late in the night?
3. The 'broken bone in the neck' was actually the Hyoid Bone and that would be virtually impossible to break on its own in a fall without other obvious injurues that pointed to the cause. No fall can so neatly sever the Hyoid bone.....such a fall is bound to leave some more injuries....any doctor or investigator would say that.
4. The weedkiller found in the glass has to be justified. Was it just resting the glass gossiping with Woolmer?

I am saying that its a murder being covered up, but I would like the authorities to answer these questions.

Another possibility-International Bookies had the case snuffed. They millions to spend on this and it it to their interest.
