SEOUL: A 15-year-old South Korean boy committed suicide after killing his mother for scolding him over excessive computer game playing, a report said.
The boy’s sister found their 43-year-old mother dead in her bedroom and her brother hanging from a gas pipe at their home in the southern port of Busan, it was reported.
The12-year-old daughter reported to police that her mother and brother often had fights about his game addiction. It quoted investigators saying the boy apparently committed suicide out of guilt at killing his mother.
South Korea is one of the world’s most wired societies, but there have been sporadic reports of deaths related to internet game addiction.In February a man died after playing for five days with few breaks.
A month later couple accused of leaving their baby to starve to death while they raised a “virtual” child on the internet was arrested.
