Couple who hung washing on illegal connection electrocuted


Police in Gqeberha have opened up an inquest docket after a young couple from Soweto on Sea was electrocuted on Monday.

Police spokesperson Captain Gerda Swart says the couple were hanging their washing on a wire that was illegally connected to a municipal electrical pole.

She says the incident happened on Monday afternoon after neighbours could hear the victims screaming.

The deceased was identified as the 34-year-old Mphakamise Cose and his 30-year-old wife Lingomso.

Police urged residents to refrain from illegally connecting electricity as this can have fatal consequences,
