A Plum Mitan man was electrocuted while doing work on electrical wires at one of his properties.
Reports said Anthony Simpson Baboolal, 55, was standing barefoot on the galvanised rooftop of one of his properties working on the electricity connection to the building with a pair of pliers, when the incident occurred.
His 21-year-old son heard his screams and ran to assist, but also received electrical shocks while trying to climb onto the roof with an eight-foot ladder. Baboolal's wife, Sasha, 46, contacted the police. Officers of the Biche Police Station and TT Electricity Commission (T&TEC) responded.
