Did He Stab Him, Or Did He Virtually Stab Him?
Shanghai man Qiu Chengwei was so infuriated when his friend borrowed his "dragon sabre" and sold it on eBay that he attacked Zhu Caoyuan at home, stabbing him repeatedly in the chest. The unusual part is that the sabre didn't even exist in the first place but was a virtual sword the two had won while playing the videogame Legend of Mir 3. Authorities agree that if Chengwei had used the dragon sabre to kill Caoyuan, it would have been the perfect crime since the murder weapon would never be found. Source
