Gamer Murdered

10th June 2005, 9:37pm
BBC News has reported that Shanghai gamer Qui Chengwei stabbed Zhu Caoyuan in the chest, killing the fellow player. Zhu sold a virtual sword in the online game Legend of Mir 3 - a sword Qui Chengwei had loaned him, and so the vengeful Chengwei decided to set things straight.

The police refused to have anything to do with virtual property. Zhu had offered to pay Qui the money he'd earned from the sword, but Qui stabbed him instead. He's facing a suspended death sentence - meaning a lifetime in jail, unless Zhu's parents have anything to do with it. They're appealing for an immediate death sentence.
