Richmond Laweh, a caretaker, whose makeshift gate electrocuted a 14-year-old boy at Ampomah, near Ashiyie, has been jailed 10 years imprisonment by High Court in Accra.
Laweh illegally connected electricity to an uncompleted building and connected a copper wire to his makeshift gate on pathway on two plots of land he is squatting.
Samuel Darko, the victim, who touched the gate to open it to use the said pathway, got electrocuted.
During a summing up, a seven-member jury unanimously returned a verdict of guilty on Laweh at the end of the trial.
