A 25-year-old housewife, Ali Munnisa, and her three-year-old son, Junaid Rahman, were electrocuted in their house in Warasiguda of Chilakalguda on Friday, the police said.
The victim’s husband was a physiotherapist and was away in Medak on some work. “The woman carrying her son suffered electric shock when she switched on the washing machine,” Chilakalaguda Sub-Inspector P. Jayashankar said.
Ms. Ali Munnisa and her son were found lying close to the washing machine with burns on their bodies when a visitor came to their single-room house around 10 a.m.
