Couple Electrocuted A Day After Returning From Honeymoon

A South African couple was electrocuted on Sunday just a day after they returned from their honeymoon.

The newlywed Johannesburg couple, Zaheer Sarang and Nabeelah Khan were found dead in their Crosby home at about 17:30 on Sunday.

It is believed that the woman collapsed after touching a tap in the shower and her husband was electrocuted when he tried to save her.

City Power CEO Mongezi Ntsokolo has ordered an urgent investigation into allegations that a fault, caused by illegal electricity connections led to the couple’s death.

Ntsokolo said a preliminary investigation was underway to establish what transpired. Details will be provided at a later stage. He added:

Johannesburg police spokesperson Captain Mavela Masondo said an inquest docket was opened. Said Masondo:

It is suspected that the couple was electrocuted. Police are still waiting for the post-mortem results that will confirm the cause of death.
