Schoolboy accused of stabbing teacher to death 'was loner hooked on violent video games'
The boy accused of stabbing teacher Ann Maguire to death was hooked on violent video games, it was claimed today.
His profiles on Google+ and YouTube show he was particularly keen on one called Dark Souls, in which players take on the role of a cursed character chosen to discover the fate of the undead.
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, even had a drawing of the Grim Reaper as the banner on his Facebook page.
Friends say he was also heavily into games such as Assassin’s Creed, the Call of Duty series and Grand Theft Auto and would spend hours playing them.
He subscribed to the video channel and website Achievement Hunter to get tips about how to collect the most points and rewards from the games.
Police were tonight trawling social media pages linked to the A-grade student in a bid to find more about his interests.
One pal described him as “a loner” who was also obsessed with thrash and heavy metal music by bands such as Enter Shikari, A Day to Remember and Bring Me The Horizon.
The friend added: “Everyone thought it was really odd. He was going out with a girl from the same year. I think they split up recently, but I don’t know why.”
It is believed the accused teenager’s mother had flown out of the UK on holiday on the day of the stabbing. She is thought to have been travelling home today.
Pupils told how two female language teachers ran to help Mrs Maguire after hearing terrified screams coming from the classroom.
One restrained the alleged attacker, who had dropped the blade at the scene and headed out into the corridor.
Another tried to save 61-year-old Mrs Maguire, who was reportedly stabbed from behind.
“We were told that one of the teachers grabbed her and she just fell into her arms,” said one shocked student.
