Breaking: Five people including three young children have been killed after being electrocuted in a swimming pool at a Turkish aqua park




According to reports this evening at least five people have died after being electrocuted at a water park pool in north-west Turkey.

It is understood that three young children are among the dead after they were electrocuted in a pool at an aqua park this afternoon in the town of Akyazi.

Local media also say the aqua park’s manager and his son have also been killed after they dived into the pool to try and save them.

Turkish officials have also said there was no residual current device found at the aqua park following an investigation of the scene.

It is believed the RCD would have instantly​ broke the electrical circuit which would have prevented anyone suffering an electric shock.
