A SCHOOLBOY  jailed for four yesterday for raping a teenage girl had stormed out of his house after spending hours playing war games on his computer.

After a row with his mother over the amount of time he was spending playing the game, the 14-year-old left home with the intention of mugging the first person he saw. He took a kitchen knife and home-made balaclava with him.

After first ignoring a heavily-built man, he turned his attention to a 19-year-old who was making her way home from town late on 13 October. After following her to the Westmount area, he forced her into a field at knifepoint before subjecting her to brutal rape.

Yesterday, the boy, who cannot be named because of his age, was jailed for four years by the Royal Court.
