Counter-Strike inspires murder!

Daily Telegraph

It's déjà vu again! What is going on here? Recently, the Sydney (Australia) Daily Telegraph reported that two men dressed in black fatigues, balaclavas, & ski goggles, terrorized a family at gunpoint, murdering one man in an ensuing struggle. In court, the Crown Prosecutor stated, "the family life they had enjoyed up to that time was shattered because of two men… dressed in an outfit that was inspired by a computer game, Counter-Strike, in which the accused had some interest and from which he derived some enjoyment." While it is certainly not our intention to undermine this tragedy, is it correct to implicate a videogame, again?
