Teenager killed his father and attacked his mother after taking drugs and playing violent video games

A teenager who stabbed his father to death and injured his mother in their bedhad been detained indefinitely after it emerged that drugs and violent video games had 'contributed' to his mental illness. Jordan Ryan from Blackburn, Lancashire, who is was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, had been playing a violent video game and also smoked cannabis and taken ‘bubble’ – a street nickname for mephedrone - on the night he fatally knifed Neil Ryan, 46, and injured his mother Deborah, 41. The 19-year-old TA soldier was made subject of an indefinite hospital order after he pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility in what the serving judge called the 'saddest case' in his time at Preston Crown Court.
