But wasn't there a case here a few years ago where a
bloke protected his car by electrifying it? I think a Hotel
Parking attendent got zapped with it and the guy was
prosecuted, he did get found not guilty though.

The thing it depends on is intent, and that is why
boobytraps are illegal virtually everywhere. If you
electrify something and kill someone, did you intend
to kill them, or merely dissuade them? Well, if you
intended to kill them you can just lie and say it was
to scare them off. Then it gets into a very complex
technical argument determining the intent of the
person, based on the amount of electricity they used
or whatever. However if the people were in a fight
and one guy jammed the other's fingers into a socket
and electrocuted him, the intent is far more clear.
