A 15 year old boy killed his brother in revenge because his family took away his Xbox. Here's the story before all this. The boy was 14 when he stole £5,000 from his older brother's bank. The family discovered the cash missing and contacted the police. They found out it was their son and they gave him a warning, grounding him. The older brother was furious that he would do such a thing, taking away his Xbox to pay back part of what he took.
The teen was also furious, telling his friend that he was going to burn down his house and kill his mother. The friend then told the police, but it was too late. The teen burned the house down a few days later. The fire trapped six people as the teen watched calmly from the streets as the six people desperately tried to escape. His elder brother was trapped and burned because he was always listening to music under his bed so no one could warn him. Read the full story at the source
A 15-year-old schoolboy who killed his elder brother in a revenge arson attack after his family took away his Xbox is facing a life sentence after being found guilty of murder.
The boy, then aged 14, stole £5,000 from his 24-year-old elder brother's bank account before the family discovered the cash was missing and called in the police, Sheffield Crown Court was told.
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was given a caution but afterwards his mother grounded him and the furious elder brother told the boy he was going to sell the youngster's Xbox so he could start repaying him.
Within days the 14-year-old set fire to the family home by pouring white spirit in the hallway and setting it alight by throwing a match through the front-door letter-box.
The three-bedroom semi at Kitchin Road, Wombwell, near Barnsley became an inferno, trapping six people inside.

how is it too late? DAYS later? what did the police do? Crawl on their backs to his house?
Is this a legitimate story, though? Sounds BS to me.
Still sickening to read.
Shoot this kid, just do it, he is obviously beyond any form of control
And Tekmosis has a point, I don't listen to music under my bed, I listen to it sitting up or something, but It's quite weird, I'm kinda shocked that the parents didn't even know the kid had mental problems. Sheesh.
