BANGKOK, Sept 6 (TNA) – A burglar was killed when he accidentally kicked an electric fence at a hotel in Sukhumvit area while trying to enter the property.
The body of the 34-year-old man was found between a wall and an exhaust duct on the second floor of the hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 5. Police believed the man was electrocuted because they found a burn on his right ankle that rested on an electric wire of the hotel’s fence. Police assumed the man planned to steal valuables from the guests who stayed at the hotel but accidentally hit the electric fence.
Hotel staff said that the dead man was not a guest and normally the electric fence was activated from 10pm to 5am. The electric fence was installed a month ago after a burglar stole customers’ valuables and fled an arrest attempt at the hotel. (TNA)
