‘Manhunt’ taken off shelves after murder

RETAIL chains Dixons and Game took the controversial computer game Manhunt off its shelves yesterday with immediate effect.

The move came after the parents of a schoolboy murdered by his older friend blamed the violent game for their son’s death.

Warren Leblanc, 17, of Braunstone Frith, Leicester, on Wednesday pleaded guilty to the murder of 14-year-old Stefan Pakeerah in February this year.
