Former boxer’s battered body found at Ruimveldt
A father of seven was yesterday morning found dead on the Ruimveldt main road opposite DiDCO in what is suspected to be a hit and run accident. However, the lack of evidence to support this theory has left the family of 48-year-old Trevor Colin Bumbury awaiting a post mortem examination to determine the cause of the man’s demise. Bumbury’s younger brother, Ozah Edwards told Kaieteur News last evening that he was preparing for work yesterday morning when he received a call from an aunt asking him to make his way to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Edwards said that when he arrived there, he was told that his brother had been in an accident and was in an unconscious state. However, when Edwards saw his brother’s body, the man was already dead.
Edwards told this publication that he only saw injuries to his brother’s head, and there was nothing else to indicate that he had been hit by a vehicle or that he was involved in an accident. Edwards explained that his brother had a single wound to the back of the head. “There was a hole at the back of his head where blood was coming out from. There was also a cut over his nose and his face was swollen as if he was lashed in the face.”

Edwards said that in his opinion, his brother may have been attacked from behind by more than one person. He said his brother is a former boxer who was well built and could have “handled himself.” The brother said however that he is unaware if anyone would have wanted to harm his older sibling.
Bumbury’s oldest son, Trevor Junior Edwards said he last saw his father around 04:00am yesterday morning when he was awakened by him as he left for work at the Meadow Bank wharf where he operated a small shop. Young Edwards said his father was drinking with friends on Saturday evening and then went to bed before heading out to work.
The youngster said that about 07:00am the following day, he received a call from his ex-girlfriend who asked if it was true that his father had died. After making checks, the 19-year-old said he confirmed the information and made his way to the Public Hospital but was unable to see his dad.
Edwards said his father was an easygoing person and he too is unaware whether someone would have wanted to hurt him. He too is anxiously awaiting the post mortem results. Kaieteur News understands that Bumbury’s body was discovered by a police officer and he was taken to Georgetown Public Hospital.
