"A teenage boy was sentenced in a British court on Friday for assuming false personas in an Internet chat room in order to induce an online friend to try to kill him. The boy who was convicted, 14 at the time of the events in question, fooled his friend, then 15, with an "elaborate matrix" of fictional identities, including that of a spy, in the chat room, the court was told.

Acting on the "spy's" orders, the older boy tried to kill the younger one, stabbing him in the chest and stomach in June
f last year, leaving wounds that required hospitalization."
