The Galle Magistrate's Court has sentenced a man to death for the intentional electrocution of another individual. The ruling, announced yesterday, comes after a lengthy legal process surrounding the case.

The convicted man, a resident of the Imaduwa area in Galle and over 50 years old, was found guilty of using illegal electrical wiring to cause the death of the victim on February 2, 2000. This severe punishment underscores the court's stance on violent crimes and the dangers associated with unauthorized electrical modifications.
