Police in Johor, Malaysia, are investigating a possible connection between the online game Roblox and a violent incident where a nine-year-old boy allegedly attacked his six-year-old brother. According to the local police chief, preliminary findings suggest the older brother may have been influenced by the game or acted out in anger after his game was disrupted, causing a loss of points. The authorities noted the older boy seemed to experience hallucinations and may have felt "instructed" to harm family members. The parents of the children have been remanded for questioning as the investigation continues. This news emerges as Roblox has seen significant growth on gaming consoles, attracting an older demographic to its platform. There has been no statement from Roblox Corp. regarding the incident.
