A 15-year-old South Korean boy committed suicide after killing his mother for scolding him over excessive computer game playing, a report said Tuesday.

The boy’s sister found their 43-year-old mother dead in her bedroom and her brother hanging from a gas pipe at their home in the southern port of Busan, Yonhap news agency said.

The 12-year-old daughter reported to police that her mother and brother often fought about his computer game addiction, Yonhap reported. It quoted investigators saying that the boy apparently committed suicide after killing his mother.

South Korea is one of the world’s most wired societies, but there have been sporadic reports of deaths related to internet game addiction in the country.

In February, a 32-year-old man died after reportedly playing for five days with few breaks. A month later, police arrested a couple accused of leaving their baby daughter to starve to death while they raised a “virtual” child on the internet. An autopsy showed that the baby suffered a long period of malnutrition.

The government, which estimated that South Korea has about two million web addicts, already announced a campaign to combat the affliction. From next year, it will offer free software to people at risk, to limit the time they spend on the web.
