Murder due to virtual saber

41-year-old Tsiu Chengwei stabbed his friend, 26-year-old Zuhu Caoyuan, with a knife in the chest after the latter announced that he had sold his “dragon saber”. The sabre friends got together in the game “Legend of Mir 3” and then Joo sold it for $870. Tsyu went to the police to report the “theft” but was told that such property was not protected by law, after which a murder was committed.

In China, cases of virtual property appeals to the courts have increased during the trial.
