Police believe that Woolmer knew his killer or killers. There was no sign of forced entry to his room, and it's unlikely that those responsible for his death took the time to disrobe the 1.85-m, 113-kg man before fleeing. Woolmer had apparently been comfortable enough to let his visitors into his room while he was unclothed, or perhaps wearing a towel before or after a shower. "I believe that it would be extremely difficult for a complete stranger to go into the hotel lobby, get into the lift, go to his room, and that he would open...
...Investigators are now focusing their attention on the closed-circuit TV tapes from the front elevator banks on the 12th floor, hoping they will reveal who visited Woolmer in the hours before he died.

It's a tough call, but Cowell somehow turns this fuzzy antihero into someone strangely likeable and oddly iconic. An improvised scene where he practices cricket strokes in front of a mirror wearing just underpants, joint in hand, seems as Australian as Jack Thompson wielding sheep-shearing scissors in Sunday...
...murder investigation is proceeding methodically, and Shields is confident that it will sooner or later discover the guilty party. But whatever the identity and motive of the killer or killers, the Woolmer murder-mystery will leave in its wake an overriding fear that the great game of cricket is being strangled by forces not visible on the pitch...
