Stefan Pakeerah was murdered on the 27 February 2004. Stefan was killed by Warren Leblanc an older friend. Leblanc, 17, stabbed 14 yeard old Stefan after luring him to a Leicester park to steal from him.
Stefan's mother described Leblanc as "inherently evil". Leblanc pleaded guilty to murder. The court heard Leblanc had been obsessed with the game Manhunt developed by company Rockstar North. Leblanc armed himself with a claw hammer and a knife with which he killed Pakeerah in the park. Mrs Pakeerah, 36, called for violent video games to be banned but Rockstar the games producers say it is absurd to blame 'Manhunt' for the boys actions. It is said Leblanc mimicked the game to kill Pakeerah but no responsibility is being claimed by the game makers.
