Hannah Rhind, daugher of Cape Town businessman Philip Rhind, was the target of a petrol bomb thrown at her father’s Clifton house earlier this year.  We know this because her name was on the bomb. And in a rather embarrassing turn of events for Shumsheer Singh Ghumman, that little personalised touch also led to the speedy identification of him as the perpetrator.

The bomber filled two wine bottles with petrol and hurled them onto Philip’s balcony in the early hours of the morning in January.  He also took the trouble to write Hannah’s name on the missile.

“What are the chances that [you] see your daughter’s name on a petrol bomb? On the bottle was a piece of tape with ‘Hannah’ on it. I thought my goodness, it’s Ghumman,” Rhind says.

Shumsheer appeared in the Cape Town Regional Court yesterday after being named as a suspect.  In 2009 Hannah was granted a restraining order against Ghumman by a UK court.  He then proceeded to harass her dad and was sentenced to a fine and 180 hours of community service.

He can now add charges of fraud, incitement to commit murder, attempted murder and malicious damage to property to his CV.   Apparently, Ghumman first tried to get a hitman to throw the bombs at the house.  Funny enough, the hitman declined.  Maybe he saw the potential loopholes of Shameer’s master plan.
