Now this is one of the stranger stories I've heard. A boy conned another boy that he met in a chatroom to kill him, by pretending to be a number of different persons.
The boy - who is now 15 and can be referred to only as John for legal reasons - persuaded his friend, known as Mark, now 17, to stab him to death in order to pass a fictitious initiation test for the British secret services in a meticulously planned attack one Sunday evening last summer.
John, seriously injured, has now been sentenced for incitement to murder himself, a legal first in Britain.
