A 14 year old Chinese boy has been arrested after stabbing his own
father to death at a cyber cafe after the father confronted him over
playing video games instead of going to school and doing his homework.
Daily Mail
reports that the boy's father had gone to fetch the boy from the
internet cafe, but when
the boy refused to return home the pair argued and the boy
allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed his father. His mother, Hua
Mai, blamed violent games for her husband's death, and said that the
teenager had become 'addicted' to gaming. Continue...
She said that her son was a regular
visitor to the internet cafe in Loudi in south China's Hunan province,
and that his school work had started to suffer as he was missing classes
and not doing his homework.
'When
my husband spotted that he had once again skipped his studies to go
with his friends and play video games, my husband Lu had gone to get the
boy,' she said.
However, the teenager refused to go home
and is alleged to have pulled out a knife and attacked his father before
running away, leaving the fatally injured man to bleed to death on the
floor outside the internet cafe.
Police later found the boy at another internet cafe.
He
was arrested, while officers have ordered that every internet cafe in
the surrounding area be closed while an investigation into the incident,
and which games the boy was playing is carried out.
Police said the boy was being kept in a psychiatric institute while tests were being carried out
