Introduction to the case

Since July 2017, the defendant Wu Moumou rented a building in Chengzhong Village, Longhua District for rent. During the period, the community workstation asked Wu Moumou to test and rectify the circuit of the building, but in order to save expenses, Wu Moumou did not entrust a qualified circuit company to rectify the circuit.

The post -community workstation found that the circuit of the building still did not meet the safety standards. At the same time, other tenants in the building also frequently reflected the problem of power off and leakage in the room. Effective rectification of the building and continuing to rent.

After investigation and testing, Room 602 of the building was penetrated by the meter due to overloading. Due to the loss of leakage protection function of the building's total switch, the power could not be cut off, which caused the ground wire to be charged. Electric shock accidents occur.

Judge

In recent years, the incident of electric shock of the bathroom in Chengzhong Village has occurred in various places. Some cases have been resolved through civil channels, and the owners or managers of the rental house will compensate the victims. However, the safety accidents of rental houses can not "lose money". If the owners and managers of the rental house do not fulfill the power management obligations, in addition to the civil liability, they may also face criminal punishment.

In this case, the defendant Wu Moumou, the actual manager of the rental house, received the notice of circuit rectification, knowing that there were hidden dangers of the house involved in the case involved in the case without effective rectification. Subjectively, there are faults of the occurrence of harmful consequences. At the same time, because the entire building did not correct the ground line as required, the leakage protection switch in the building was invalid when the electricity leakage occurred too much, which failed to effectively cut off the power supply. As a result, one person died, so the behavior of the defendant Wu Moumou constituted the crime of hazarding public safety by dangerous methods.

For those who fail to eliminate hidden dangers of electricity, power supply companies have the right to stop power supply; for rental houses with major fire protection and safety hazards, rental will be banned by the competent authority; for not fulfilling the obligation of electricity safety management and cause damage to others, they should be damaged. Compensation; if you know that there are hidden public safety hazards in houses, you will still be leased, causing serious injuries, death or suffering from major losses to public and private property, and will be held criminally responsible according to law.
