Overview
- A man identified as Enrique Milla fell from a ladder and died of head injuries while putting up a campaign panel in the Cooperativa de Vivienda Huancayo on Jirón Las Esmeraldas.
- Security cameras captured the fall and the immediate moments after it, including a worker quickly removing the ladder and a van carrying campaign material marked with Mayor Richard Soria’s name.
- Family members say Milla worked for the Municipalidad de El Agustino for more than 15 years and had been a serenazgo driver, while Mayor Richard Soria has denied that Milla was currently on the municipal payroll.
- Neighbors and relatives questioned whether municipal personnel or resources were being used for campaign work and whether the team had basic safety gear when the banner was installed.
- Officials have opened inquiries to establish who contracted the workers, confirm Milla’s employment and benefits status, determine if safety protocols were observed, and decide any legal or administrative responsibility.
