Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Bakau woman killed by electric shock An electric shock has claimed the life of a young woman in Bakau Kachically Saturday evening. The deceased, Fatou Bojang commonly known as Mbo, is said to be in her thirties.<\/p>\n

Confirming the tragic news to The Standard, Awa Camara, mother-in-law to Fatou, explained the incident: \u201cI came to her in the afternoon to chat. Upon my arrival, while we were sitting outside chatting for a while, she told me she was going to the garden but first went into the bathroom to get her bucket. As she entered, I think she attempted to pick a bucket that has a metal handle and placed around a corrugated iron rounded by an electric wire and it shocked her. I heard her shout once. I then stood under the veranda and then her sister quickly came out looking for help.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cI quickly rushed there and I found her lying on the ground. I called her several times but she did not respond. I touched her leg and the electricity also shocked me. Then I ran out shouting for help. The boys who were standing outside swiftly intervened and put off the meter and took her to the hospital where she was confirmed dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

The late Fatou Bojang was described by the neighbours as calm and friendly. She was laid to rest in Bakau at 2pm yesterday. She was survived by six children.<\/p>\n
