A 59-year-old construction worker was electrocuted yesterday after a crane being used to move piles for a housing project at ‘C’ Field, Sophia, came into contact with a live wire.
The deceased is Elroy Haynes, a father of five of Kiltairn Village, Corentyne, Berbice, who was undertaking infrastructure works under the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Adequate Housing and Urban Accessibility Programme.
Haynes was employed as a general foreman attached to Annirude Ramcharitar Construction Co, the entity which has been contracted by the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) to complete works under the project.
