Wife kills digital hubby
October 24, 2008
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO — A 43-year-old player in a virtual-world game became so angry about her sudden and unexpected divorce from her online husband that she logged on with his password and killed his digital persona, police said yesterday.
The woman used another player’s ID and password to log onto the popular interactive game Maple Story to carry out the virtual murder in May, a police official in the northern city of Sapporo said.
Police said the woman admitted to carrying out her cyberspace revenge and has been jailed on suspicion of illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data.
“I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me so angry,’ the official quoted her as telling investigators.
The woman, a piano teacher, had not plotted any revenge in the real world, the official said.
