Zakynthos:- Community remains in shock by the death of the 9 year old who was electrocuted whilst playing.

Zakynthos remains shocked by the tragic death of the 9-year-old resident. The little one was electrocuted by the air conditioner of a hotel on the island.

 

The unfortunate child was playing “hide and seek” with his friends in Zakynthos, when he decided to hide behind a central air conditioning unit, where he was electrocuted and lost his life.

 

The cables were connected to a hotel air condition unit. The child tried to hide behind it. When he touched one of the wires, he did not even have time to react.

A family friend saw what happened, heard the voices of other children.

“My wife called me. I ran, I shook the child, I shouted at him, nothing; I hugged him, he was dead. I went to his father. It was a cut cable at the base of the air condition. They are three thick wires. It provided power to the entire base of the air condition. It ‘s in my yard. “I have been here for two years like this”, says Mr. Elias to Live News:

The testimonies of the death of a 9-year-old child in Zakynthos, who lost his life during an electric shock, are breaking hearts. The funeral of the unfortunate child will take place on Tuesday in Albania.

The relatives of the child demand the punishment of those involved in the tragedy.  So far, Zakynthos police have made three arrests: the hotel owner, the HVAC installer and the electrician – all three were later released.

The funeral of the unfortunate child will take place on Tuesday at noon in the homeland of his parents, in the village of Mollas in Elbasan, Albania. According to information from APE – BPE, from the close family circle of the 9-year-old, as soon as the necropsy – autopsy is completed, then the relatives will accompany the body to Albania, so that the child is buried and the funeral will probably take place on Tuesday noon.
