SPOILER ALERT: The Mare of Easttown mystery continues with some unexpected blindsiding bumps in the investigation. Episode five of the HBO drama series has served up even more twists and turns as the murder case of teenager Erin McMenamin (Cailee Spaeny) continues.

The latest installment sees Mare Sheehan (Kate Winslet) and Colin Zabel (Evan Peters) coming across a man previously responsible for the kidnap of teenage girls in the area - but as they go to investigate, the suspect shoots Colin dead, yes, DEAD... 

Then there's an alarming gun battle between Mare and the criminal who is then shot by a disbelieving Mare.

Viewers have been left stunned by Colin's death while others have been left confused that the disappearance of Katie Bailey isn't linked to the main murder case - further adding to confusion that Bailey is still alive.

With the kidnapper being revealed as a total randomer - could he have anything to do with the murder of Erin? Or are there more viable suspects like Lori’s husband John, Erin’s uncle Billy or even one-time love interest, Richard (Guy Pearce).

With Colin now dead, who else is going down and what's next for Mare?
