A Success Squatting Area, East Coast Demerara couple was found dead yesterday after being shocked by an exposed, illegally run electricity line.

The dead persons were identified as Sarojanie (Tasha) Hansraj, 32, a midwife at the Georgetown Public Hospital and her common law husband, Prahalad Jagnarine, 39, a taxi driver. They resided at 4D South Success, East Coast Demerara with their child.

The exposed electrical wire extended from a utility post to their home. It was later disconnected by Guyana Power and Light (GPL) workers.
