Facking Brilliant... Elderly doctor kills teen robber

[janfar]

AN 89-year-old doctor shot and killed one of two bandits who broke into his Fort George home yesterday.

The 18-year-old bandit, Jamal Roper, sustained a single shot to his neck and died during a failed attempt to escape the elderly doctor, police said.

Western Division officers have launched a manhunt for the bandit’s accomplice.

Dr Ralph Hoyte sat down with the Sunday Express just after 4 p.m. yesterday to relive the extraordinary tale.

Hoyte’s calmness as he recounted the incident, which had only occurred mere hours before, was most striking.

The incident took place shortly after 8 a.m. while Hoyte was still in bed.

Two men broke down the door to his bedroom and tied Hoyte up with duct tape.

’Where the money, where the money?’ the bandits screamed at him, Hoyte said.

The men tried to cover his face with a pillow.

In the process of tying up Hoyte, one of the bandits rested his pistol on the bed. The men turned to ransack the bedroom.

’I struggled with the tape around my hands and loosened it a little bit enough to seize the gun,’ Hoyte said. With the gun in his hands, Hoyte fired a single shot at the men.

The bandits fled from the bedroom.

’One man ran down the stairs and turned left and the other man ran down the stairs and turned right, but he could not get out of the house that way,’ Hoyte said.

With his hands and feet still taped, Hoyte shuffled out of his bedroom with the gun still in his hands.

’Coming out of the bedroom with the gun, I fell, letting go the weapon,’ he said. The gun tumbled down the staircase, and the bandit who was still inside the house, because he had turned right, grabbed the gun and then ran outside.

Hoyte said he believed that was the end of the ordeal.

’They (relatives who also live with him) called an ambulance, but I told them I was not hurt and it was not necessary for the ambulance to come,’ he said.

The relatives also called the St James Police Station. It was when the officers arrived at Hoyte’s home that they saw a man lying dead in the driveway. The officers recovered a homemade shotgun.

Investigators also said two cellphones and a digital camera which were stolen from Hoyte’s home were found inside the dead man’s pants pockets.

Hoyte received minor injuries to his right hand and twisted his left ankle.

’I was able to stay calm because after operating surgeries for over a half a century, I have grown accustomed to blood and death,’ Hoyte said.

’I didn’t even get a chance to buy the newspapers and read about all the crime,’ he said about the early-morning attack.

Hoyte’s wife, Dr Wilma Hoyte, died of natural causes on December 31 last year.

He has three children and four grandchildren.

The escaped bandit was seen running north along the Fort George Road with gun in hand after the incident. Investigations are continuing.
