Daniel Petry entered the Kuhn house and locked the door behind him. After that, they brutally beat 13-year-old Gabriel , dragged him into his bedroom and raped him. He laughed at Gabriel , who was crying and writhing in pain in blood on the bed. Gabriel said he would tell his parents everything. This did not suit the rapist. As the boy screamed and cried and the sheets on his bed began to stain with blood, Gabriel threatened Daniel that he would tell his parents everything. At this moment he decided to kill him. Gabriel Kuhn was a 12-year-old boy when his friend, 16-year-old Daniel Petry, took his life in a horrifying way. This terrible event shows us how fights that start in video games can turn into scary, real-life violence. Although his birthdate is unknown, Kuhn was only 12 when 16-year-old Daniel Petry murdered him in cold blood. Kuhn met Petry via an online game called “Tibia,” a medieval-themed massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). What murderer Daniel Petry did to his friend and fellow gamer Gabriel Kuhn is completely inhumane and inhuman. This callous and cold sick young man butchered his friend over something so insignificant. In 2007, Gabriel Kuhn was tortured and eventually murdered by Daniel Patry over a miserly $1.55. It is quite unfathomable to reckon why such a frivolous thing as a game could lead one to take the life of another. But there was an underlying cause of Daniel’s behavior—mental illness. However, the news shocked everyone in the country, when the killer was identified. The victim was just 12 years old, and his killer, 16. This is the story of Gabriel Kuhn . Today’s case happened in Brazil in 2007, and the reason that it is short is because everything in this case happened so quickly.
