Six-year-old touches daycare outlet and dies – charge against electrician
Three years ago, six-year-old Antonio died because of a socket in a Frankfurt day care center. The public prosecutor’s office has now brought charges against three electricians.
“These people will pay for it,” the mother said to those responsible at a time of mourning near the daycare center one day after Antonio’s death. Her son star after accessing a broken outlet. Almost three years after Antonio’s death, the Frankfurt public prosecutor’s office has now indicted three electricians on suspicion of negligent homicide.
A 40-year-old and a 45-year-old are accused of having caused the death of the six-year-old boy “by negligently installing a socket and thus actively doing so,” the public prosecutor said on Monday. The owner of the electronics company checked the work and was accused of manslaughter by omission.
On October 29, 2019, six-year-old Antonio playfully hid from his mother in the changing area of his daycare center at Atzelberg in the Seckbach district. There the six-year-old suddenly began to tremble and then collapsed. The doctors could later only determine the death of the boy. Just one day later, the suspicion was solidified: that Antonio had come into contact with a socket that was installed in the children’s cloakroom. Fathers of other boys and girls had spoken of “blue lightning”, one wanted to have seen cables, reports the “Frankfurter Rundschau (FR)”.
