16-year old Mario (no last name given) cut his 46-year old father Fabrizio in the family home after the discussion over tactics resulted in the patriarch shutting off the television. Mario then retrieved a clean knife from the kitchen, stabbed his father, and returned to the kitchen to clean the knife in front of his mother reports Reuters.
The mother didn’t know anything was amiss until Fabrizio, who survived the attack staggered into the kitchen bleeding.
FIFA 2009 was given to the boy as a birthday present just a few days earlier. His mother said, “…we bought him FIFA 2009 because we didn’t want him playing violent games.
I for one was looking forward to the inevitable FIFA World Cup 2010 game, but now I guess that will get banned, too.
