A FORENSIC expert has told the inquest into the death of Bob Woolmer that the genetic samples taken from the former Kent cricketer’s Jamaican hotel room matched his DNA and not anyone else questioned in the case.

Sharon Brydson said investigators took 22 swabs from the room but none of them matched any of the other samples taken during the investigation.

Woolmer was found unconscious in his Kingston hotel room on March 18, a day after the Pakistan team was eliminated from the Cricket World Cup. He died later at hospital.

Several Pakistan players were fingerprinted and swabbed by the police, although they were never termed suspects.

The police had initially backed the government pathologist Ere Sheshiah’s finding that Woolmer was murdered.

However, a review by three other pathologists concluded Woolmer died of natural causes, possibly due to a heart attack.

The inquest is expected to finish on Friday.
