Tycoon's son, 14, kills friend, 15, in frenzied knife attack 'after losing computer game'

A tycoon's teenage son murdered his friend in a frenzied knife attack allegedly after losing a computer game.



Vasya Turda, 14, was accused of stabbing Vasya Pop 27 times and the victim was said to have been found with an 'almost severed head'.



The 15-year-old's neck was cut from ear to ear during the incident in Nizhnyaya Apsha, Ukraine, Vasya Pops's father told.



A “conflict” between the youngsters is believed to have arisen over the outcome of a computer game, said reports on the case citing law enforcement.



The court heard allegations the victim had provoked the attacker with “unlawful violence, systematic harassment or grievous insult”.



In an earlier dispute, it was claimed Vasya Pop had pulled down his pal's trousers in the presence of girls in a cafe.



Vasya Turda, as named in Ukraine, has been jailed three and a half years.
