A three-year-old child has been electrocuted to death at Gomoa Nyanyano in the Gomoa East District at a funeral.
According to reports, the deceased was electrocuted by an electrical cable used to connect power from a house meter to a public address system, which was being used at a residence during a funeral on Sunday, February 10, 2025.
Reporting on the story on Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, Oheneba Ademah indicated some of the eyewitnesses claimed that after the funeral, the electrician disconnected the cable from the public address system and left it on the floor, with one side still connected to the meter.
