"One of the sisters slipped and grabbed a pillar and was electrocuted. Her sisters came to her aid but also succumbed to the same fate," he said in a media conference at the Kelantan contingent police headquarters here today.
He added that the sisters were brought to the Tumpat Hospital for their autopsies.
