A post mortem report on the remains of former boxer, Trevor Colin Bumbury, has shown that the Charlestown resident died as a result of two gunshot wounds to the head. The report has shown also that apart from the gunshot wounds to the back of the head, and a cut in the face, there are no other injuries to suspect that the man was engaged in a fight or a struggle.
The 48-year-old father of seven was found lying dead on the Ruimveldt main road opposite DIDCO, early Monday morning in what was suspected to be a hit-and run-accident. Bumbury’s younger brother, Ozah Edwards was speculating that his brother was involved in an accident, since according to him, visual evidence did not support that.
While he could not say whether anyone would have wanted to hurt his older sibling, he opined that his brother may have been attacked or even robbed. He was convinced however that more than one person had brought harm to his brother, since he was a boxer, “who could handle himself.”
Yesterday, Edwards said that the family is looking forward to the police investigation, since it was explained that the matter is now being treated as a murder and a probe must be conducted. He reiterated that his brother was a friendly and easy-going person, so the family is at a loss as to who would have wanted their relative dead.
Bumbury’s 19-year-old son, Trevor Junior Edwards, was said to be the last relative to see him alive. Bumbury had awakened his son about 04:00am on Monday to let him know that he was heading out to work at the Meadow Bank wharf. Around 07:00 am, the son said he received a message that his father was dead.
Reports are that a police rank stumbled upon Bumbury’s body and he was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Bumbury is expected to be buried on Friday.
