Virtual murder?
Police in Tokyo have charged a 43-year-old piano teacher with illegally accessing a computer system and manipulating electronic data after she logged on to a popular interactive video game and killed the virtual husband who divorced her without warning.
She used his password to do it and that is what made it criminal, police said.
"I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me so angry," an official quoted her as telling investigators.
