A 36-year-old Żurrieq man was electrocuted yesterday as he was carrying out some work at a nun’s convent in Mriehel.

The police said the accident took place at about 6.30 p.m. on the Rabat road.

They rushed to the scene when they got a call that someone needed their assistance and an ambulance then took the man to hospital.

About an hour later, however, the police were informed the unnamed man had died. A magisterial inquiry and police investigation are under way.
