KINGSTON: There's yet another twist to the Bob Woolmer murder mystery. A janitor testifying in a court in Kingston, Jamaica, on Tuesday said she saw Woolmer count "coils of US dollars" in the presence of another man inside a closed area of a dressing room at Sabina Park. "Woolmer was checking it (the money) and putting it away in a big bag, similar to bags carried by the cricketers. The money was in a thick coil. I saw a lot of coils of money on the table," Patricia Baker-Sinclair, a senior superintendent working with Manpower Maintenance Services told the coroner's inquest. Baker-Sinclair said she did not know the man who was inside the room alone with Woolmer but that "the person was an Indian". She didn't explain how she came to that conclusion. According to her, the incident happened on March 12, six days before the coach was found unconscious in his hotel room after Pakistan were knocked out of the World Cup 2007 following a defeat against Ireland. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital shortly after. Match-fixing was one of the many theories that had cropped up then. According to the Kingston-based newspaper, Jamaica Gleaner , the janitor also said that the door to the dressing room was closed and she was allowed in after being asked to identify herself. Sinclair said as she replaced the dressing room toiletries, the men exchanged words, but they spoke in a language unknown to her
