This 13-year-old boy has reportedly confessed to cops that he stabbed his seven-year-old brother to death in a fit of rage after losing on a mobile phone video game.

The shocking incident took place in the city of Dudinka in the north-central Russian region of Krasnoyarsk Krai where 32-year-old mother Olga lived with her fiance and three children, Alexander, 13, his unnamed seven-year-old brother and his six-month-old sister.

On 23rd April the mother reportedly took her daughter to the girl’s grandparents’ house, leaving the boys sleeping in the house.

When Alexander woke up he reportedly began playing a game on his mobile phone but flew into a fit of rage after losing a round.

He reportedly began hitting furniture and turned everything upside down in the house before breaking his phone.

According to reports, the younger brother woke up from the noise and hid from his brother in the kitchen.

The teenager was reportedly afraid his younger brother would tell everyone what happened in the house, and in a fit of anger allegedly took a knife and stabbed the seven-year-old 15 times.

The victim is said to have died at the scene.

According to reports, when the mother returned home, she did not believe the teenager’s story and called the police.

During the interrogation, the boy reportedly confessed to the killing, saying that he was afraid his friends would stop talking to him after he lost an easy round in the game and he killed his brother as he was scared he would tell their mother about him ruining the furniture.

The 13-year-old is said to have been a good student and the crime has shocked the local community.

The teenager is now being provided with psychological assistance. A criminal case has been opened but it is unclear if the boy has been arrested.

It is unclear where his mother’s fiancee was at the time of the crime.

The investigation is ongoing.
