Worker Dies While Installing Mayor’s Campaign Banner in El Agustino

Authorities will investigate who hired the installers, the deceased man’s employment ties to the municipality, and whether safety rules were followed.

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.
