Online divorcee jailed after killing virtual hubby

Quote
TOKYO: A 43-year-old Japanese woman whose sudden divorce in a virtual game world made her so angry that she killed her online husband's digital persona has been arrested...

Ok, so, she's actually being jailed for stealing his credentials but it's much more alarmist to declare that the crime is about the online violence.  I don't know which I find more amusing, the crime, or the pathetic attempt to sensationalize it.
