Thai teenager kills mother in computer game row

A 15-year-old boy allegedly stabbed his mother to death on Wednesday after she had scolded him for playing computer games into the early hours of the morning, police said.
The Thai teenager slashed his 50-year-old mother three times with a machete and stabbed her in the back at their Bangkok home at 2a.m after they had argued about his late-night computer-game playing, Police Major Prayuth Puengkaeha said.
The boy’s sister was also wounded in the altercation, and had to be hospitalised, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
Prayuth said the boy’s case would be presented to the Juvenile Court.
The identities of the boy and his family members are withheld for legal reasons.
