This horrific incident is simply beyond words. A 15-year-old Romanian boy stabbed his adoptive mother to death after she refused to pay the Internet bills. The boy, Ionut, is addicted to online video games.

It was said that Ionut stabbed his adoptive mother 17 times when she decided to stop paying the bills. This was so he would cut down the time he was spending in front of the computer playing his games. What is even more disturbing about this incident, however, is that a mere three hours after the killing, Ionut left the home and headed to an Internet cafe to play Counter-Strike.

Meanwhile, the husband of the victim found her dead in their home and subsequently reported the incident to the cops. Ionut, later on, turned himself voluntarily to the authorities, calmly telling them that “I think I’m the one you’re looking for.”

Ionut has been admitted to an underground psychiatric clinic in a local hospital. Test will be conducted to determine his pyschological state, and if found that he was fully competent when the crime was committed, he could face up to 12 years in prison for the murder.
