Rodrigo Barrios took advantage of the fact that his neighbor was convalescing in a clinic and that her husband was accompanying her to enter the couple’s house to rob.
The incident occurred at the beginning of the week in Argentina and has attracted the attention of international media in recent hours.
The 24-year-old man wanted to take advantage of the fact that the house was alone to do their thingbut in his attempt to enter the house without permission he died from electrocution.
The intruder, who had his face covered with a shirt, died instantly from the shock.
The young man did not realize that the metal door was connected to a cable. As soon as his left arm made contact with the metal, he received a strong shock and was “stuck.”
A brother managed to hear a scream and when he approached the wall he saw Barrios lying on the floor, almost hanging from his arm.
It was later learned that the couple had already suffered several robberies and that is why, before heading to the sanatorium in search of medical attention for the woman, they decided to implement an effective but dangerous security system: electrify the doors that led to the sides and the back part.
It turned out that on another occasion it was Barrios who entered and seized construction materials that he quickly sold for a few pesos.
Barrios’ body remained in contact with the current for several hours until a team from the Corrientes Police transported him for an autopsy.
