Pakistan's cricket team arrived in Britain today a day after captain Inzamam-ul-Haq and assistant coach Mushtaq Ahmed were re-questioned in connection with the murder of Bob Woolmer.

The squad touched down at London's Heathrow airport on a flight from Jamaica, where police have been investigating the mysterious death of the Pakistan coach.

It is believed the players will stay in London for at least one night before flying on to their home country.

Mr Woolmer (58) a former England player and Pakistan's cricket coach, died after being found unconscious in his hotel room in Jamaica last Sunday, a day after Pakistan's shock defeat to Ireland in the competition. He had been strangled.

The team were the last to leave the plane and were escorted off it by six police officers. An onlooker said they did not appear to speak much and wore serious expressions.

They were taken into baggage claim and then boarded a bus parked at the back of the building to avoid the camera crews waiting in the main concourse.
