Mario Stabs His Father

A 16-year-old boy named Mario attacked his father, stabbing him in the throat with a 40cm kitchen knife after he attempted to provide him with tactics for FIFA 2009 for the PlayStation 3. Apparently an argument broke out between the two and after his father switched the television off he walked into the kitchen, grabbed the knife and proceeded to stab his father in the neck.

Mario then strolled back into the kitchen, wiped the knife and placed it onto the draining board to dry. "I saw Mario come back into the room, he seemed calm, he went to the sink and I noticed him washing a knife," his mother told. "Then my husband came into the room with a hand round his neck, dripping blood."

The boy then locked himself in his room until police arrived on the scene. When approached he didn’t try to resist arrest. His 46-year-old father, a shopkeeper from Turin is currently undergoing treatment in hospital.

"Mario is obsessed. He's forever playing on his PlayStation, and we bought him FIFA 2009 because we didn't want him playing violent games," his mother told Il Corriere, an Italian newspaper. He only received the game a few days earlier as a birthday present.
