over video game restriction.

A 14-YEAR-OLD boy in southern Russia has been charged with killing his father with a sledgehammer after his parents tried to stop him from playing computer games.

The unnamed boy in the coastal town of Tuapse, located by the Black Sea in Russia's southern Krasnodar region, bludgeoned his father to death while he lay sleeping, regional investigators said.

"At around 1am (local time) on April 12, the suspect dealt his sleeping father at least two blows on the head with a sledgehammer," the region's investigative committee said.

"The man died on the spot from a head injury.

A spokeswoman said the parents had taken away the keyboard as a disciplinary measure after he spent a week playing computer games.

After the killing, the boy's frightened mother gave him the keyboard back and the boy played computer games for several more hours until he fell asleep, the spokeswoman said.

At that point, the mother, who was not injured, contacted relatives who in turn called police.

The boy, who has no criminal record, is now being held in pre-trial detention.

At 14, he is old enough to be charged with murder under Russian law.

I lol'd. Unless he's imprisoned inside World of Warcraft, he'll be wanting to bludgeon a lot more people in jail.

Yeesh...

lol the dad should've just kicked the crap out of his son for playing video games too much. Then his son wouldn't have beating him to death with a sledgehammer because he would be fearful.

In Soviet Russia, kids pwns YOU!!

Peter Gabriel strikes again!

When you think that the Mongols massacred cities and cut the heads off thousands of people and threw them in a pile to scare off enemies, and used the dead bodies to build a bridge across a castle moat, this doesn't seem so bad.

Fallout 3 style killz ? XD

I lived in Krasnodar for 7 or 8 years, hearing this kind of stuff doesn't really

encourage to go back.

This is just messed up. Parents obviously needed more schooling before

raising a kid.

In Soviet Russia, kids pwns YOU!!

I hope they don't blame video games for being the cause of violence. Yeesh that kid needs help.

I don't get how he continues on playing video games after killing his father. :? Does this kid have any sympathy...

14 would likely be older enough to be tried as in adult in the US as well.

Also, heeere we go again. More GAMEZ EVIL!

Possibly not. He probably suffers from sociopathy.

Yeah I don't think a normal person would beat their dad to death with a hammer then play game like its nothing. Clear sign of the crazies.

I cant play video games when im supposed to receive an order in 10 mins etc, let

alone once i've murdered someone ^^

Its sociopathical and retarded at the same time. Some psychos

at least have a certain self preservation mechanism to go along.

But maybe it was the boy's cunning plan to go to prison so he

could buff up after all the working out and kill more people

in prison :roll:....this story is rediculous.

Good Lord..... this is one of the worst things I've ever heard. :?

The kid sounds like a pathetic, psychopathic loser......

What an immature brat. Even my little brother is more mature :lol:tekken220

Dude, i doubt it has anything to do with maturity. The kid has mental problems, you dont just off your parents like that.

This is terrible...

Yet I have a feeling that they're going to blame computer games with seems slightly annoying, even if you play games you have a certain sense of right and wrong, or at least where taught that killing is wrong before you were 14 years old.

But this must be some serious mental issue to be able to do that with no sympathy

The first thing that came to mind after reading the report was "What game was he playing?"

Am I a bad person? :P

Headshot?JigglyWiggly_

No.

FATALITY!!!!

That kid needs to die.

I Don't Get how it took several hours for the police to arrest him....Did the mother not call them Immediately?

Probably in shock. I would be if i was in her shoes.

You beat me to it :P

That is very disturbing. Why would you do that?!

What an immature brat. Even my little brother is more mature :lol:tekken220

Thats horrible, how does not being able to play games for a little while make you want to murder your own parent. I thought kids murdering their parents in the holocaust was bad but this is just crazy.halo3-player

I'm sorry...are you saying this incident is worse than then the holocaust?

Gosh thats awful :( RIP Boys Dad

In Soviet Russia child abuses you.

Wow that kid has serious problems.

lol the dad should've just kicked the crap out of his son for playing video games too much. Then his son wouldn't have beating him to death with a sledgehammer because he would be fearful.

If the kid was loopy enough to kill over a game, I wonder what he would do after he got pounded. Not saying I am against parents hitting kids(it should be mandatory imo), I just think this is one of those few situations a belt can not solve.

Who says PC gaming is dead? you just don't see this kind of dedication with console gamers.

Sad case though, I feel bad for anybody related to this little freak, not least so his poor mother :(. Kids should realise how lucky they are to have what they have in the first place and respect their parents.

This kid busted the 5th commandment...
