Grand Theft Auto IV: Thai taxi driver stabbing

54-year-old taxi driver Kuan Pohkang was senselessly stabbed to death by 19-year-old Polwat Chino in early August of 2008. Instead of paying his fare, Chino stabbed the taxi driver to death with the intention of robbing him.

The teenager told police he was addicted to the highly controversial Rockstar video game Grand Theft Auto IV, an installment of a series hailed and known as the most gratuitously violent game series of all time.

As a result, the entire Grand Theft Auto series was banned in Thailand.
