RIP Peter! What a great journalist he was!

There's something really fishy about his sudden death. We are going to miss him!
Very sad for cricket...
Yes he met police the night before so something is not right. If the police in SA are anything like the ones in Jamaica (ie: Woolmer), then expect nothing!
Rayan and Merlin.? Hilal's other user names.? We are very suspicious.
Hypocrisy exposed, this is what all these westerners are good at.This guy was repeatedly in his articles concerning SL, calling for SL war crimes to be investigated and now this nitwits real personality is exposed, a rapist himself.

@Sulaimaan: He committed suicide?? Oh my god!
@Anon: Hilal has not been on the site for a long time his mother has been ill.
Peter Roebuck fell to his death from his Cape Town hotel room while being questioned by police about an alleged sexual assault, it has been reported. A police statement said the circumstances surrounding Roebuck's suicide were being investigated.
Western Cape provincial police spokesperson Frederick van Wyk was quoted by Reuters as saying that "a cricket commentator committed suicide by jumping from the sixth floor of his hotel." He died on impact.
See the difference in third world mentality and an Australian politician's mentality.

The federal Minister for Sport, Mark Arbib, praised Roebuck for challenging the conventional wisdom with his fearless prose.
''A lot of [the] time I disagreed with his views, but I never doubted his fine intellect and passion for the game,'' Senator Arbib said.

Sulaimaan do you think there is something wrong when people ask SL government to investigate war crimes allegations? You want criminals, rapist and murders in our army to go scott free or do you think our whole army is full of saints?? You want Sri Lankans whose children were killed, bombed, murdered or raped during the war to just forget and move on? Their anger will cause another war later. Dont forget man Tigers are all Sri Lankans. All the people who lived in war areas are Sri Lankans.
