Raymund Tabuso, barangay kagawad of Candon City, Ilocos Sur, was shocked recently after he saw three of his family members lying on the lawn of their home in Barangay Amguid. His wife Marlene, son John Raymart, and relative Lolo Rolando all died as a direct result of electrocution.

Barangay kagawad Raymund Tabuso stated that his wife Marlene was hanging their clothes at the time she was electrocuted. As a result of the encounter, the woman collapsed and fell to the ground.

Raymund’s son instantly assisted Marlene, but he was electrocuted as well until another relative, Lolo Rolando, attempted to save them. Unfortunately, the older man was also electrocuted. The three were eventually rescued.

“Nakita ko yung malaking sugat sa leeg ng asawa ko, duguan ang bunganga niya. Magkatabi sila ng anak ko,” Rolando stated.

“Allegedly may gasgas yung extension wire na naka-connect sa sampayan. At siguro ‘yon yung sanhi ng pagkakakuryente nitong pamilya,” Arellano stated.

Unfortunately, only Marlene survived the electrocution, with John Raymart and Lolo Rolando perished. The female victim is being treated at the hospital right now. The faulty extension wire put at the “Kubo,” according to Candon City Police Chief Police Leiutenant Coronel Randy Arellano, is the main cause of the event. The “Sampayan” may have come into contact with the open wire.
