Chinese Gamer Sentenced To Life - News @ BBC

Some of you may have recalled hearing about the Chinese gamer who killed his fellow gamer after the murdered man had sold his "dragon sabre"?

Today the BBC posted up the latest in this rather bizarre case...

A Shanghai online gamer has been given a suspended death sentence for killing a fellow gamer.
Qiu Chengwei stabbed Zhu Caoyuan in the chest when he found out he had sold his virtual sword for 7,200 Yuan (£473).

The sword, which Mr Qiu had lent to Mr Zhu, was won in the popular online game Legend of Mir 3.

Attempts to take the dispute to the police failed because there is currently no law in China to protect virtual property.
