I heard this report on te radio this morning and could not believe it. Yet it is true, as confirmed by the following online article from CrispyGamer.com




It was interesting to check out the newswires today and see headlines discussing a video game related “virtual murder” that took place in Japan, resulting in the arrest of a 43-year old woman. Of course, dig a little deeper, and the story takes on a whole different flavor.

The reality of the story involves the unnamed woman and a man she had virtually married in the game MapleStory. According to reports, the online relationship soured, with the man apparently “divorcing” his online wife. Of course, as the saying goes, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”

“I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me so angry,” the official quoted her as telling investigators and admitting the allegations.

Back in mid-May, the woman decided to get even with the man by using login information she got from the 33-year-old office worker when their characters were happily married, logged into his account, and killed his character off. The man logged into his account to discover the “murder” of his avatar and filed a complaint with police in Sapporo. The woman was jailed on suspicion of illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data. Though she has not yet been formally charged, if convicted could face a prison term of up to five years or a fine up to $5,000.
