KEY POINTS:
Jamaican police are running out of time to question players, officials and bookmakers at the cricket World Cup about the murder of the Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer.
The final is in six days, but detectives admit they still have "a huge amount of work to do" - and hundreds of interviews to carry out before the tournament ends.
They do have a suspect at last, identified from security camera footage taken at Woolmer's hotel on the night he died.
This is one of two breakthroughs in the past few days - the other being a long-awaited toxicology report showing the victim was poisoned, either to knock out or kill him.
Police refuse to confirm that it was aconite, an ancient drug derived from the wolfsbane plant.
British officers flown out to help are urging that samples be sent to the US for further testing, rather than relying on the sluggish Jamaican forensic science system.
The slow pace of the inquiry continues to attract fierce criticism.
The inquest due to be held tomorrow has now been postponed indefinitely, partly to allow detectives to concentrate on questioning people.
"It is important we contact the hundreds of potential witnesses as soon as possible, even before they leave the Caribbean," said Deputy Police Commissioner Mark Shields, leading the inquiry.
"Our investigations are far from complete."Bob Woolmer, 58, died at the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston on 18 March.
Death by poisoning would contradict the Kingston coroner, who declared the victim had been strangled.
One theory is that his neck bone was broken by a fall as he passed out.
The death has been blamed on match fixers worried that he was about to blow their cover.
England players are expected to leave Barbados today or tomorrow.
Four teams remain in the cup, including South Africa, which Bob Woolmer was coaching during the Hansie Cronje match-fixing scandal.
