PORT-AU-PRINCE, Feb 19 (Reuters) – One person was killed and five more were hospitalized on Thursday in Haiti’s Petion-Ville, a suburb of the capital Port-au-Prince, when a high-voltage cable snapped in a public marketplace, electrocuting those below, a judicial officer said.

The condition of the people taken to hospital remained unclear, local judicial officer Eno Rene Louis told Reuters.
