Hoax E-Mails: Vater tötet Tochter

Was es nicht alles gibt. Hoax E-Mails sind nicht nur lästig
und gemein, sondern können auch tödlich sein.

Dies zeigt der Fall des Philip Hall (41). Nachdem ihm
solcherart von Leuten einer Konkurrenzfirma ein (recht
böser) Streich gespielt wurde, erstach er kurzerhand
seine zwölfjährige Tochter.

Urteil: Unzurechnungsfähigkeit (Philip Hall war
nervlich "vorbelastet".

Also: Hoax-MailerInnen sollten die Konsequenzen
bedenken, die dieser Mist haben kann.

Hoax e-mails pushed father to kill daughter
(by Mark Cooney)

(08/17/2001) Just before you dismiss hoax e-mails messages
as harmless, consider the case of Philip Hall, who killed his
young daughter as a result of them.

The bizarre case has just resulted in three employees at a
Welsh computer firm being charged with forgery after they
allegedly sent the spoof e-mails to Mr. Hall, who worked for
a rival firm.

The trio are accused of sending e-mails to Mr. Hall, who
had a history of mental illness, which resulted in him traveling
to India on what he believed was a business trip.

But when he arrived in Delhi last July and discovered he was
the victim of a hoax, he suffered a nervous breakdown.

Hours after returning home, he stabbed his 12-year-old daughter
through the heart as she slept.

The 41-year-old father was cleared of murder late last year by a
jury at Swansea Crown Court on the grounds of insanity, but was
ordered to be detained indefinitely at a medium security hospital.

The three men charged have not been named.
