Burglar killed by 33,000-volt shock 'trying to steal cable from electricity substation'

Well he won't be doing that again.
Still I wouldn't be surprised if his family sue the company for not securing the substation sufficiently.

Re: Some shocking news
I don`t suppose they were `Pikeys` by any chance. 
Serves him bloody well right. If it isn`t yours, don`t take it.

Ha ha you couldn't make it up could you? There was one round our way like that a few years ago, he thought it was old copper cable until he sawn through it. The whole town went black.

Surely they're too busy expertly fixing people's driveways and roofs to have any such criminal activities going on.

Re: Some shocking news
The pikeys are always trying to nick Virgin cable and get a surprise when they find out that it is not copper.

Re: Some shocking news
It's a pity he was a burglar. He'd have made a great conductor.

Re: Some shocking news
I find it disturbing that so many find so much delight in the death of another human being. Yes, he it appears he was attempting to steal something, but there is no way he deserved to die for it, or do you all think, because you believe he was a traveller he deserved to die anyway?

Re: Some shocking news
