A MAN, who stole window curtains and clothing from a bond at Lot 30 Industrial Site, Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was electrocuted after coming into contact with a live Guyana Power & Light wire, while trying to escape on Friday morning.

Dead is Terry Ramcharran, 47, of Fourth Street Alexander Village, Georgetown.
Reports indicate that the storage bond belongs to a businessman residing at Schoonard, West Bank Demerara. The concrete and zinc bond houses household supplies, clothing and electrical appliances.

Persons in the area summoned the police after they saw Ramcharran’s lifeless body next to the live electrical wires connected to the utility pole. The body was clad in a blue vest and a pair of black pants. Police discovered two bags which contained window curtains and clothing which were taken from the businessman’s bond. The body was taken to the Lyken Funeral Parlour.
