Certainly an interesting case, but I'm not sure how helpful it is to speculate. You suggest "DIY electrified fence" but, quite frankly, when someone starts using "posh garden lights" as a ladder, I wouldn't want to vouch that every properly-installed fitting would remain safe. Could quite easily crack both insulating layers of a double-insulated fitting, for instance, when standing on it.
 
You don't need to search much to find more info,
From the Mail yesterday;

Boy, seven, 'was electrocuted as he climbed over a fence to retrieve his football in a pub garden after loose wiring connected with the metal railings' as police quiz men, 72 and 70, over his death

From the Sun ; 15th September 2018

THE devastated family of a boy who died after falling off a pub wall have paid tribute to the “beautiful and happy” youngster. Harvey Tyrrell, 7, was playing in the garden at the King Harold Pub in Romford, East London, when he suffered catastrophic head injuries.

Agree.
suggested that his son was killed by a light recently installed at the King Harold pub in Romford, east London.
I thought it was an electric shock?
“My boy was turned into a circuit board,” he told the Telegraph
What does that mean?
he then stood on the “posh garden light”
What was a child doing climbing on lights at a pub?
The other supervising parent felt an electrical surge
What does that mean? Why did they write 'supervising parent' when the child was clearly unsupervised?
 
Parents let their kids do whatever they want these days - no discipline its more than likely some feral, pea-brained family with equally feral and destructive kids!

A good slap upside the head never did me any harm...
