Tragedy hit Amanfrom, a small farming community near Hwidiem, the capital of the Asutifi South District in the Ahafo Region, when seven members of a household were electrocuted during a severe rainstorm last Friday evening.
The victims were among 10 persons in the house who stepped out to seek refuge in nearby houses when the rainstorm, which was accompanied by thunder, ripped off the roof of their house.
According to the police, the striking of thunder disengaged the main electrical cables from an electric pole and the victims accidentally stepped on some live wires in the process of escaping the danger.
