Tragic Well Accident Claims Three Lives in White Plains Township

By : Moses Leyen

Rural Montserrado is mourning the loss of three men who died while cleaning a well in Harts Town, Robertsville, White Plains Township.

Authorities have confirmed that the deaths were accidental, following an investigation and a fifteen-member jury ruling that ruled out any foul play.

The victims, George Askie, Prince Kudah, and Sumo Qoingewu, were reportedly contracted for the well cleaning task.

Eyewitnesses say the men operated a water pump in the well before entering, after which they failed to resurface.

Officials attribute the fatalities to a lack of ventilation in the well. Families of the deceased are now preparing for funeral arrangements
