British boy conned Internet friend into stabbing him in suicide bid
May 31, 2004

Row of computers in a cybercafe. A British teenager posed as an espionage
agent in an Internet chatroom to persuade a friend to stab him to death in a
complex and bizarre suicide attempt, a court was told.

A British teenager posed as an espionage agent in an Internet chatroom to
persuade a friend to stab him to death in a complex and bizarre suicide
attempt, a court was told.

"Skilled writers of fiction would struggle to conjure up a plot such as that
which arises here," said the judge hearing the case at Manchester Crown
Court, northwest England.

The would-be victim, aged 14 -- named only as Boy B -- invented a complex
cast of fictional characters with which he communicated with his 16-year-old
friend, Boy A, eventually exerting a huge degree of control over him.

The older teenager was eventually persuaded that he had been recruited by
the British Secret Service to kill Boy B, after which he would be rewarded
with a job as well as a sexual relationship with the 39-year-old female
"spy".

In June last year, Boy A carried out his "orders" and stabbed his friend --
who, he had also been told, was suffering from a cancerous tumour -- in the
chest and stomach, the court was told.

However Boy B did not die, and police later pieced together the astonishing
story from 56,000 lines of computer chatroom text between Boy A and his
various real and invented correspondents.

Boy A was given a two-year supervision order on Friday after pleading guilty
to attempted murder, while Boy B was given a three-year order for perverting
the course of justice and incitement to murder, and banned from using
Internet chatrooms.

"It was incitement to commit murder -- his own murder," Detective Chief
Inspector Julian Ross, who led the investigation team, said of Boy B's
complicated plot. "I am not aware of any other cases where that has taken
place."

Judge David Maddison said "a number of extraordinary features (are)
associated with this case".

Under normal circumstances a charge of attempted murder would carry a long
jail term, he told Boy A, while adding: "But these could not be described as
any normal circumstances."

"I accept, fantastic though it seems when looked at now in the cold light of
day, that ... so convincingly were the characters presented to you that you
really did believe you had been recruited by the Secret Service to kill your
co-accused and face the consequences if you did not do so."

The court had been told how Boy B first contacted Boy A in a chatroom in
early 2003 by posing as a teenage girl, who then "introduced" Boy B as her
step-brother. The boys became friends and later met in the flesh.

However the plot thickened as Boy B introduced a series of other characters
apart from the "spy", including someone who -- to Boy A's increasing
horror -- supposedly stalked Boy B and then killed the girl.

Detective Chief Inspector Ross said nothing in Boy B's background suggested
why he wanted to die.

"We have not come across any underlying things that would turn a child to do
this sort of thing," he said.
