Teenagers accused of strangling Italian pensioner 'said killing made them feel like heroes from Grand Theft Auto'

Two teenage girls accused of strangling a pensioner are alleged to have told friends that the killing made them feel 'like heroes' from a violent video game. The two 15-year-olds allegedly told pals that the killing had made them feel like characters from the notorious game Grand Theft Auto, in which players roam a fictional city stealing cars and killing people. The pair from Udine, in north east Italy, are said to have told police they strangled 67-year-old Mirco Sacher, after he tried to rape them. The girls, known only as A and F because of their age, are then alleged to have stolen his car and fled, driving some 40 miles down the motorway, despite having neither having a driving licence.
