UBulley, obesebenza njengomeluleki wezindlu, uduke ngoLwesihlanu, ngoJanuwari 27 ekuseni. Amaphoyisa athi ubehamba nenja yakhe ngemuva kokushiya izingane zakhe ezimbili esikoleni.
Ngemva kwesikhashana, inja yakhe yatholwa izulazula yodwa futhi ucingo lwayo lwabonwa ebhentshini eduze nomfula, lusangene ocingweni lomsebenzi. Kodwa amasonto amathathu, uphenyo olwaqalwa ngamaphoyisa aseLancashire lokuthola umama oneminyaka engu-45 wezingane ezimbili aluzange lugcwaliswe.

Ngesonto eledlule kubonakale abaphenyi begxeka kakhulu amalungu omphakathi abathi agada “izinganekwane eziqhubekayo.”

“Okunye kushaqise kakhulu futhi kwalimaza umndeni. Kusobala ukuthi akukho esingakunaki, futhi sikubuyekeze konke okungenile kodwa-ke kusiphazamise kakhulu.”
Isinqumo samaphoyisa aseLancashire sokuveza imininingwane yomuntu mayelana noBulley sidale ukugxekwa okusabalele, abaningi besola amandla okucwasa ngobulili. Ngisho nohulumeni wawagxeka amaphoyisa, uBraverman ezwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngendlela aphatha ngayo leli cala.
