In the horrific incident at her house in Paraiba, Brazil, Jennifer Karolayne, 17, and her pregnant child both lost their lives.
After the victim’s husband raided the alarm, emergency personnel flocked to the site in Campina Grande.
However, Jennifer had already passed away when emergency personnel visited their house in the early hours of August 17.
Her unidentified spouse claimed that after she stepped out of the bath and attempted to use an extension cable to charge her phone, she was electrocuted.
Before he discovered her motionless on the ground, he claimed to have heard an extremely loud noise and a scream.
When he attempted to help Jennifer, Jennifer’s husband said he too was shocked by electricity.
According to Campina Grande Homicide Police Station Chief Ramirison Pedro, the situation is being handled as an accident.
But the case will still be looked into, he added.
