ⓘ About Kim Slater

It starts after Kieran comes across a dead body by the river. Then later on comes to realize that this is the body of a local homeless man named Colin who police had assumed and concluded that he simply fell into the river and drowned yet in real sense they never really cared what had happened to him. As strange as it may sound, Kieran seems to care about this dead homeless man and adamantly sets out to try and solve the mystery behind his death. Kieran starts off by questioning Colin’s fellow homeless folks focusing on establishing all of the people whom the deceased associated with while still alive. He sketches short note in his note book which he later on uses for reference while piecing together the evidence collected from those he successfully interviewed.
