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. ------------------------ Yahoo!
