Islamabad: The Pakistan government has decided to send a top diplomat based in Washington to Jamaica to assist the cricket team in the ongoing police investigations into the murder of coach Bob Woolmer.
Tasneem Aslam, an official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said the diplomat would coordinate with the Pakistan team and Jamaican authorities in Woolmer death case.
Sources said the diplomat, Khawar Zaidi, would lead a team, which could also include some legal experts, to Jamaica.
Woolmer was found dead in his hotel room on Sunday and police have now confirmed he was strangled to death by more than one person.
They have taken fingerprints of the Pakistan team and will also carry out their DNA tests. Aslam said the finger prints were taken to basically find out who else had visited Woolmer besides the Pakistani team members.
A Pakistan Cricket Board official said the DNA tests were also being taken for the same purpose.
"Basically these things will make it clear to the police that apart from the Pakistani players, who were the other persons who visited Woolmer before his death," he said.
