An online gamer from Shanghai has been given a suspended death sentence for murdering a rival who sold his virtual sword without permission, Chinese state media reported.
Qiu Chengwei stabbed his victim, Zhu Caoyuan, in the chest when he found that he had sold his "dragon sabre" for 7,000 yuan (£473).

Too bad his real weapon wasn't sold as well.

This is a computer-generated message and needs no signature.

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
