second life death

now we have hit an all new low..

An unnamed Japanese woman reacted in anger after her virtual husband divorced her in the interactive game “Maple Story”. She reacted by killing him -not the player, but his online avatar! The player whose online persona was murdered complained to police, who arrested the woman on suspicion of hacking. She used information she got from the other player in order to destroy his avatar. If convicted, she could face up to five years in prison. -link
