Kingston, Jamaica: Police have identified a potential suspect in the Bob Woolmer murder case after trawling through reels of hotel security camera footage.

Although the suspect is understood to be male, Jamaican police and their Scotland Yard counterparts would not confirm if he is a member of the Pakistani team or management.

His identity is being kept secret since officials believe that it could compromise the interests of the case as it now begins to unfold rapidly.

It has also been learnt that Woolmer may have been poisoned with aconite, which is used as an herbal medicine across South Asia.
