electronic data, used his identification and password to log onto popular interactive game
"Maple Story" to carry out the virtual murder in mid-May, a police official in northern Sapporo
said on condition of anonymity, citing department policy.
"I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me so angry," the official
quoted her as telling investigators and admitting the allegations.
The woman had not plotted any revenge in the real world, the official said.
She has not yet been formally charged, but if convicted could face a prison term of up to five
years or a fine up to $5,000.
Players in "Maple Story" raise and manipulate digital images called "avatars" that represent
themselves, while engaging in relationships, social activities and fighting against monsters
and other obstacles.
The woman used login information she got from the 33-year-old office worker when their
characters were happily married, and killed the character. The man complained to police
when he discovered that his beloved online avatar was dead.
