“Meh worship how is it possible for me alone to carry away all these things, then get shoot four times and still able to jump over a fence?” asked Roger Bumbury yesterday when he appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson.
Bumbury is accused of stealing a quantity of heavy-duty machinery on March 17, last, property of Deoram Singh.
The machinery, according to Singh, value well over $5.8M.
Roger Bumbury, 39, of 93 E North Sophia said that he was riding his bicycle along Pike Street, Campbellville when he saw Singh and another male in a tinted vehicle harassing a young woman.
“Me worship they were harassing the woman and me tell them stop trouble people girl children”.
“My worship he came out the vehicle and seh that is Indian people running things in this country and just shoot me four times,” Bumbury said.
The man further told the Magistrate that he was never in a yard removing any of the articles mentioned in the charge. “My worship one generator cannot fit into a car much less three and all dem things he seh I thief from he,” Bumbury argued.
The Virtual Complainant who was present in court told the Magistrate that he confronted Bumbury in his yard trying to remove the articles which were in a storage room.
Singh said that Bumbury was placing “all the heavy duty machinery” inside a car. He further said that he fired the shots at the man, and Bumbury was still able to scale a reasonably high fence with two gunshots to his armpits, one to his leg and another to his shoulder.
The wounded man was then rescued by the police and taken to the hospital.
Police Prosecutor Stephen Telford did not oppose bail. He told the court that the Virtual Complainant alleged that Bumbury was in his yard when he was shot.
The Magistrate granted bail in the sum of $70,000 and Bumbury was ordered to return to court on April 22.The matter was transferred to court two for trial.
This newspaper had reported that Bumbury was found by police ranks lying in an alleyway bleeding profusely.
