Woman accused of stealing $73K from Bunbury market revealed as ex-wife of powerlifter on mutilation charge

The woman accused of stealing more than $70,000 while working at the Bunbury Farmers Market has been revealed as the ex-wife of a police officer turned champion powerlifter who allegedly plotted to cut off a man’s hands and tongue. The South Western Times can reveal Candice Lee Humble, who made her first appearance in court on Monday after allegedly stealing $73,000 from the popular store, was formerly married to Bradley Leslie Humble — one of three men accused of the bizarre mutilation scheme. It is understood the pair were together from 2004 before splitting about nine years ago. They share two children. Ms Humble is accused of stealing from Bunbury Farmers Market while she was employed at the popular store. While the full details of her alleged crime are yet to emerge, one of her six counts of stealing as a servant relates to stealing $73,600 between April 30 and June 30 this year. During her Bunbury Magistrates Court appearance on Monday, she spoke only to say she understood this allegation. According to her social media, she recently launched an online collagen-based skincare shop helping her customers to find their “inner and outer sparkle”. Ms Humble has also shared lengthy posts on social media sharing opinions that “fear is a myth” and “self-nourishment isn’t just an option - it’s essential”. Her ex-husband — a former police officer and State champion powerlifter — was allegedly offered $25,000 by an unnamed associate to cut off a man’s wrist and tongue and promised co-accused Aaron Rhys Hart a share of the cash if he took part. The pair then allegedly dressed up as police officers in an attempt to enter a man’s Canning Vale home and carry out the plot and only left when he challenged their credentials and immediately contacted a friend. Mr Humble was arrested several days later in Bunbury and allegedly made admissions to the offending in a police interview. He is currently in home detention bail after a successful application last week and will next appear in court later this month. Ms Humble was granted bail in her court appearance on Monday and will next appear for a District Court committal mention hearing early next year.
