Teen Goes on Axe Rampage After Losing Game
A 17-year-old boy who lost three games of FIFA against his brother later broke into the home of a 65-year-old woman and, armed with an knife and an axe, stabbed the woman several times in the back, stomach and leg.
We've all had moments of video rage when we may have gone overboard and thrown a controller, but what you're about to read is reprehensible. According to the DailyMail, James Callaghan, 17 at the time, lost three games of FIFA 2008 against his younger brother.
While it's unclear as to how he received the losses from the video game, Callaghan later consumed a bottle of vodka and stormed out of his home with a knife and axe. The
Callaghan had threatened teenage girls, cyclists and attacked a 20-year old man, all who managed to eventually escape. Sadly, Callaghan forced his way into the home of 65-year-old Irene Roberton, whom he struck six times on the head with the axe, chopped off a finger and repeatedly stabbed in the back, stomach and leg.
Those familiar with Callaghan said that he had a history of violence after consuming. Callaghan, who is now termed a schizophrenic, admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and unlawful wounding and is now in a high security mental hospital.
The DailyMail also added in that Callaghan had once played Grand Theft Auto, though we're certain this teen has problems that extend way beyond the influence of any video game.
