A FIVE-YEAR-OLD boy was electrocuted after he accidentally touched a fish net attached to a live wire around 5 p.m. last Tuesday in Barangay Marmol, Tuburan town, northwest Cebu.
Kevin Montebon was already dead when brought to Tuburan District Hospital.
PO2 Jennefere Canal of Tuburan Police Station said that prior to the incident, Ronald Balbuena, 22; Rommel Capala, 21; and Kerwin Lebrea, 31, and Jason Montebon, both residents in the area, were catching fish using a net attached to a live wire.
The electricity shocked the fish, allowing the suspects to easily catch them. After catching fish, the suspects called the victim and his 7-year-old brother Edrian as they would give them fish. Kevin, however, accidentally touched the live wire and got electrocuted. Both suspects were arrested by the police.
