SINGAPORE - For months, a 14-year-old boy who had an Internet gaming addiction harboured thoughts of killing his father for restricting his access to computer games.
Prosecutors had sought five to seven years' detention, while the defence asked for three to five years. In 2018, when he was 12, he was diagnosed with Internet gaming disorder and attended various counselling and therapy programmes to manage both disorders. On the morning of Dec 11, 2020, after the boy's mother left for work, the father, who was doing laundry, became agitated when he could not find the detergent scoop.
Shortly after, the boy came out from his room, apologised to his father and younger brother and pressed a towel to his father's neck to stop the bleeding.
