A two-year-old girl tragically died following an electric shock at a fairground in Alquerías, Murcia. Three other children sustained injuries but were conscious during the incident. Emergency services received a call around midnight reporting that the girl had been electrocuted and was bleeding from the nose. Despite intensive cardiopulmonary resuscitation efforts by medical personnel, the girl sadly did not survive.

The three injured children, including an eight-year-old girl and two boys aged eleven and twelve, were treated onsite and later taken to hospital. Fortunately, they have since returned home. Local alcalde José Luis Marín visited the injured children to express the community’s support.

The police have launched an investigation into the circumstances of the incident, with officials sealing the attraction for forensic examination. It appears that the children were playing on a bouncy castle when the electric shock occurred, likely from touching a metal fence.

In response to this tragic event, the Murcia City Council has declared three days of official mourning from Sunday to Wednesday. The local festivities in honour of San Juan Bautista have been suspended as the community comes together to mourn this heart-wrenching incident.
