A FORMER cricket captain jumped to his death from a hotel window after he was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault, an inquest heard.
Peter Roebuck, 55, was staying at the Southern Sun hotel in Cape Town, South Africa, to commentate on a test match when the horror unfolded.
The former Somerset captain had been accused of sexually assaulting a 26-year-old man in his room while on the trip, an inquest heard.
A jury today reached a conclusion of suicide 13 years after Peter jumped to his death.
The court was told police went to the hotel to arrest Roebuck on November 12 when the complaint was made. He was seen by a friend looking “totally in despair” while he sat on the bed with a police officer nearby. — The Sun
