Another
grey and cold day as if the place is still crying for Kim. Her
husband came today and I have spent most of my day going around with
him. Got very annoyed with the police who kept going on about how he
must inform the family. Husband explained how complicated her family
is but felt compelled to comply and phoned up her 15 year old
daughter as we were on the way to the Town Hall to talk to the WC.
He used her mother's phone, tried to get her father's phone number
but she wouldn't give it to him so he just baldly told her that her
mother had committed suicide. Then he broke down and became rather
short. Fortunately she was staying with friends who then took over.
Poor
child. The police seem more concerned with covering their own
backsides and getting off on time and don't seem very sensitive.
They were struggling with the language because he doesn't speak Tamil
and he got quite annoyed at how they kept asking him the same
questions again and again. He is also very tired and grief stricken.
