Woman arrested for killing virtual husband in Maple Story

I found this news in the online newspaper of Times on UK. (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/)

I think this is a very interesting and funny news because it is not a common one.
It is about a japanese woman that killed her virtual husband. They were married in a virtual game called Maple Story, and suddenly hi asked her the divorce,she was so angry that she logged his profile using his password and killed the character. She was arrested and acused of hacking into the profile of his "husband" or "ex-husband".
If she is found guilty of killing her digital parter, she could faces a maximun sentence of five year in jail or pay a bail.

Spurned: when someone or something is rejected.
Plotted: something planned.

It was a very strange article. I think that justice will be expend its time in really important situations, like a rob, traffic or wethever less in a game!
