A woman has been arrested in Japan after she allegedly killed her virtual husband in a popular video game.

If charged with the offences, and convicted, she faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000

Eh?!

She faces charges of illegally accessing a computer and manipulating data. But still.

The woman, a piano teacher, is in jail in Sapporo waiting to learn if she faces charges of illegally accessing a computer and manipulating data.

She's not in jail for killing her husband in the game, she's in jail for hacking a computer. Good old BBC.
