Default Electrocution case

I've just read a newspaper report on the death by electrocution of Jenny
Tonge's daughter.
A metal utensil rack in her kitchen had become live as a result of one of
its mounting screws
piercing a cable.
The coroner observed that the cable was only 10mm deep in the wall insted of
50mm.
Have the regulations changed? I don't think any cables in my house are sunk
that deep.
