Kieran Downes

I had some shock news today.

Kieran Downes, I met on a cruise-ship 7-8 years ago and we became mates, played some bridge together. He stopped with us in Newbury with his wife and two great kids.

A few years back his marriage failed and he went to live in London but we met a few times and my family stayed with him for a weekend.

Not sure why, but today I googled his name and discovered he had been murdered in late 2004 in Kiev, Ukraine.

Obviously now I'm trying to find out what I can. I post this here as there is always a possibility that a friend of Kieran's might stumble on this entry and can then contact me.
