“I heard the children shouting for help and rushed to the scene but i found them on the ground with the cable on them,” an aunt of the deceased narrated.

The two victims were rushed to the Kasoa Polyclinic but the 10-year-old was pronounced dead upon arrival with the six-year-old still on admission receiving treatment.
