Boy Stabbed Father In Row Over Video Game Tactics

An Italian man who argued with his son over tactics on a Sony Playstation Football game was rushed to the hospital after the boy allegedly stabbed him in the neck with a 15 inch kitchen knife.



FIFA '09

According to newspaper reports, the row broke out when the father offered his son, Mario, advice on how to improve his play on the video game FIFA 2009 - and then turned the TV off in response to the 16 year-old's reaction. Police said that the teenager then fetched a knife from the kitchen and stabbed his father in the neck before returning to clean the weapon in front of his watching mother and leaving it to dry on the draining board.



Frustrated

The mother said she had no idea what had happened until her husband stumbled into the room, clutching his throat. She said the game had been given to her son as a birthday present a few days earlier. "Mario is obsessed," she added. "He's forever playing on his Playstation, and we bought him FIFA 2009 because we didn't want him playing violent games."
