Three die of electric shock

SEMARANG: Three people died and 14 needed to be hospitalized
when they were electrocuted as they were erecting a large
television antenna at a house in Rowoseneng village, Kandangan
district on Saturday afternoon.

Central Java Police spokesman Lt. Col. M. Ramlie, said
neighbors of Hadi Winoto were helping the 50-year-old man when
the roof suddenly collapsed and one of its wires accidentally
connected with an electric cable.

"The result was devastating. Three men were electrified as
they were holding on to the antenna pole while 14 others were
injured," Ramlie said.

The house owner, Hadi, and neighbors Ramli and Satiman were
identified as the deceased.(har/edt)
