Need Poirot

Breaking news in TOI.. (I've only copied a section of the article - for the full article click the title).

'Champagne bottles passed on to Woolmer by Ahmed'
ISLAMABAD: In a new twist to the Bob Woolmer murder case, a Pakistani television channel on Thursday claimed that two champagne bottles which were reportedly mixed with poisonous substance were passed on to him by the Pakistan bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed.

Ahmed, who received the bottles from some other person, passed them to Woolmer, ARY TV quoted Pakistan's media manager for the World Cup, Pervez Mir as saying.

Mir said team manager, Talat Ali, was a witness to it.

According to reports in British media, some weed killer was mixed with the champagne bottles.


I have one question to ask.. Why would anyone give a bottle of champagne when the team had just gone through one of the most humiliating defeats in the history. And then - why would anyone take it??

The article goes on to say that one bottle was found empty and the other full from the hotel room. So great - someone drank the champagne too!

Ridiculous!
