‘Tests showed traces of deadly pesticide’
KINGSTON (Jamaica), Nov 9: Jamaican expert Fitzmore Coates testified at the inquest into the death of ex-Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer that tests showed traces of potentially deadly pesticide cypermethrin.
Coates, the acting chief forensic officer at the Government Forensic Science Laboratory, said that two weeks ago he was asked to provide a toxicology analysis of the Woolmer’s stomach contents. He said 3.4 milligrams per millilitre of the deadly pesticide was found in the stomach.
“The final calculation of cypermethrin in the stomach content which I analysed would be significant. It could cause vomiting, diarrhoea, nausea and death,” Coates said on Thursday.
He also testified that he found cypermethrin in samples of blood and urine taken from Woolmer. —AFP
