NgoJulayi 22nd ka-1975, kwavela ezi ndaba zilandelayo emaphepheni: umfana oneminyaka eli-17, u-Erskine Lawrence Ebbin, obulewe yiteksi xa eqhuba imoto encinci kwisitrato saseHamilton, kwikomkhulu laseBermuda. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku yonke into yayiqhelekile de elinye ixhoba leengozi zendlela lifike ezingqondweni zabantu bonke.
Ukuthi, le meko yayingeyonto intsha kule dolophu, kuba kanye kunyaka ongaphambi komntakwaboErskine, uNeville, naye owayeneminyaka eli-17 ubudala, wagilwa kwisitalato esinye ngeteksi ngelixa wayeqhuba imoto encinci.
Eyona nto ingakholelekiyo kweli tyala kukuba iteksi yayiqhutywa ngumqhubi weteksi omnye… kwaye yayithwele umgibeli ofanayo. Iingozi zenzeke nje imizuzu engama-50 ukwahlukana kwangolo suku lunye (nge-21 kaJulayi), ngo-1974 nango-1975, ngokutsho kwamapolisa esiqithi.
Iindaba eziqhotyoshelweyo kwi-Miami Herald kaJulayi 22, 1975:
Iindaba ezibuhlungu zamawele zaxelwa kwiLos Angeles Times kaJulayi 22, 1975:
Ke ngoko, alithandabuzeki elokuba 'umsitho wamawele' wenzekile eHamilton ngoJulayi 1975.
IBermuda (ngokusesikweni, iziQithi zeBermuda okanye iZiqithi zeSomers) inomhlaba olinganiselweyo, kwaye ikomkhulu layo iHamilton lisasazekile kummandla omncinci weehektare ezingama-70 (malunga neehektare ezili-173), ezinabemi abali-1,800 nje ngonyaka ka-2010. Ngo-1974, inani labantu abahlala kummandla weengozi lingaphantsi kakhulu, kwaye inani leekhabhi kuloo ndawo kunye nabantu abazisebenzisayo liya kuba lincinci.
Ngapha koko, ibingayi kuba yinto nje eyenzeka ngengozi ukuba abantakwethu ababini bahlala kwindawo enye kwaye omnye uzuze njengelifa le-moped yomntakwabo. Ke amathuba okuba aba bazalwana babini bangatshayiswa yikhabhathi enye (ethwele abakhweli abafanayo) kwisitalato esinye ayizukuba mncinci kangako. Ngelishwa, kodwa umdla unomdla nangona kunjalo.
