The victim, 53 and a resident of First Lane, Edirisinghe Road, Mirihana, was protesting against the ongoing power outages by climbing up on a nearby power transformer, during which he was electrocuted and killed.

The victim was electrocuted as he was attempting to take his own life by grabbing the two wire terminals at the same time.
