Switch off at main supply and then test with voltstick? (Oh and still assume it could be live!)

don't be a wimp. strip it with your teeth.In extreme cases snip a bit off the end, Carry an old pair of insulated pliers for this reason, don,t forget to avert eyes!

......in future to isolate all the power if necessary, strip the cable back and put it in a connector block so you can then identify the circuit.........
.......Just to add though, someone mentioned about stripping back the cable and putting in a connector block before testing to see if its live or not, but you wouldnt want to go stripping back cable and terminating until you know that it is dead,.......use a volt stick ?.......
