According to him, around 5:30pm on Sunday, a caretaker of the two-storey building, engaged the services of a carpenter to fix mosquito nets in the windows of the house.

The carpenter, identified by his ID card as John Abanga Anane, had successfully finished fixing one of the nets so he called for help to push the heavy scaffold to another window.

The assemblyman said the caretaker as well as a father and his son, offered to help the carpenter to push the scaffold but it accidentally touched the electricity power lines, leading to massive explosion and electrocution.

Mr. Frimpong said people at the scene saw the four being burnt but they could not do anything since they were afraid of being electrocuted as well.

According to him, officials of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) were called to disconnect all power lines in Anwomaso Bebre before the bodies could be retrieved.

With the exception of the carpenter, who was identified by his ID card in his saloon car as John Abanga Anane, the names of the other three people were not immediately known to the paper.
