A teenage boy in China is said to have stabbed his
father after an argument between them escalated into
violence.
The unidentified teenager is said to have attacked and
killed his father after the latter tried to persuade him to
leave an internet cafe and go to school.
The unfortunate incident is said to have occurred on
February 18 at a café in Xinhua county of Hunan
province.
According to reports:
The teenager allegedly had a conflict
with his dad, who arrived at the café to
persuade him to go to school. Enraged,
the teenager took out a dagger and
stabbed his father, who died on the spot.
Internet cafés in China have been linked
to several death and murder cases in the
past couple of years, including the
disturbing case of a 24-year-old
Guangdong man who murdered his
girlfriend then spent the entire night
playing games at an internet café, and
that of a Hunan teen who recently
stabbed and robbed a woman before
retreating to a café to post online that it
‘went really well’.
While some have blamed “gaming
obsession” and “internet addiction” as
reasons for the various deaths, the
perpetrators in most cases acted out of
circumstances with prior context.
