Archive for 18. May 2008

An inquest has been told a systemic failure caused the death of a Mangere woman after the power to her house was disconnected last year.

18. May 2008 by admin.

Mrs Folole Muliaga, 45, of Mangere died on 29 May, 2007, after power was cut to her home over an unpaid power bill, which prevented her from using an oxygen machine.

The house was disconnected by Mercury Energy, the retail arm of State owned Mighty River Power.

At the time, Mrs Muliaga was under the care of Counties Manukau Health for a range of medical conditions.

The family’s lawyers told the hearing that lessons need to be learnt from what happened.

The hearing is expected to take three weeks, with 20 witnesses.
