Virtual killer

I first heard this story from DJ Anna of Kristal FM and decided to look it up;

A Japanese piano teacher went ballistic when her online husband in the virtual world "the Maple Story" decided to divorce her. She then decided to kill her online husband's avatar.

A 43-year-old Japanese piano teacher's sudden
divorce from her online husband in a virtual game world made her so angry that
she logged on and killed his digital persona, police said Thursday.

She used his identification and password to log
onto popular interactive game "Maple Story" to carry out the virtual murder in
mid-May, a police official in northern Sapporo City said on condition of
anonymity, citing department policy.

"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.

The woman used login information she got from the
33-year-old office worker when their characters were happily married, and killed
the character. The man complained to police when he discovered that his beloved
online avatar was dead.

She was charged with illegal access onto a computer
and manipulating electronic data, police said. If convicted, she could face a
prison term of up to five years or a fine up to $5,000.
