A 35-year-old mother and her seven-year-old son had been electrocuted this morning in Polonnaruwa, the Police said.

The Police said that the child had touched the electric cable and later its mother was electrocuted while trying to save her child.
Both the mother and the child were admitted to the Pulasthipura hospital but succumbed to the shock. (Chaturanga Pradeep)
