Murders in Japan Linked to GTA
June 23rd, 2005 (12:37am) - The US isnt the only country coming down on Grand Theft Auto. A boy tragically murdered his parents this week in Japan, and the blame is starting to fall on Rockstars GTA.
The violent nature of the murders has the country pointing the finger at GTA, since several of his schoolmates pointed out that he was a fan of the series. When the boy was arrested, this was his response: "I wanted to kill my father since he made a fool out of me. I decided to kill my mother as well, since she was always saying that she wanted to die because of all the work she had to do. I felt sorry for her." The local government in the area the boy was from is putting an age restriction on the game. Reported by Anthony Swinnich on June 23rd, 2005 (12:37am) [From: Gamespot]
