Jenny's story

Baroness Tonge lost her daughter Mary to a tragic electrocution in her kitchen.

Mary had given up a job in the city to look after her two young boys. One day she was emptying the dishwasher, and while hooking a soup ladle over a metal rack, she was electrocuted.

This was due to bad electrical work carried out in the kitchen, which sadly in this case, turned out to be fatal.
