A 15 years Russian boy, Alexey Maximov, under the influence of a video game confesses to having stabbed a student to death because he wanted to know what real murder felt like, says police.
He confessed to stabbing Daria Evdokimova, 21, in the neck, eyes, head, and chest, due to an obsession with killings when playing his computer games.
Alexey had taken a kitchen knife out “to replay a scenario from his favourite computer game”, reported Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper citing law enforcement sources.
The student was said to have died on the spot.
The boy confessed to stabbing the girl multiple times and was quoted by Mash news outlet as saying: “I did not intend to kill her, I was not going to.
“But a voice inside me told me what had to be done.
“I have always wanted to see how a person dies by my own hand.”
He fled the scene of the killing before stealing the 30,000 roubles – £350 from his victim.
A policeman had seen the attack, and gave chase, but lost him.
He was later traced by CCTV and mobile phone signals to his home, where he was found by police in his bedroom calmly playing PUBG – PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – game.
“When police came to arrest Alexey, he was playing his favourite computer game as usual, killing somebody there.
“He did not resist and quickly confessed to the murder,” added Moskovsky Komsomolets.
“As he told police, he was only trying to follow a scenario from his computer game.”
