Well, at least we can be reasonably sure that the landlord didn't do it, since it's hard to collect rent from a corpse.

Business is NEVER that bad !!

he had gone to see the victim on 29th August to remind him that the rent was due on 1st September.

Strange practice if you ask me

Maybe the rent collecting guy was of a sporting disposition and reminded him about the rent with a baseball bat

he had gone to see the victim on 29th August to remind him that the rent was due on 1st September.

Strange practice if you ask me

not really….especially when dealing with a tenant who is habitually late with rent (which this guy may have been…who knows)
