A schizophrenic teenager killed a grandmother with an axe when he went on a drunken rampage after losing at computer games.In the hours before the rampage, Callaghan lost three consecutive games of FIFA, playing at home against his younger brother and a friend.After drinking a bottle of vodka, James Callaghan, 17, stormed out of his home in a rage armed with an axe and a long-bladed knife.He threatened to attack two girls, struck a passer-by on the head with the axe, terrified a cyclist and tried to smash his way into a couple's flat.By the time police arrived he had forced his way into Irene Roberton's home and killed the 65-year-old widow, Hull Crown Court heard yesterday.In a scene of unimaginable horror, Callaghan, who did not know his victim, struck her six times on the head with the axe, chopped off a finger and repeatedly stabbed her in the back, stomach and leg.Guy Kearl, QC, prosecuting, told the court: 'On the flat walls and on a mirror Callaghan had written a message to his mother in lipstick saying that he was sorry and hadn't intended to kill an old woman.'Callaghan, now 18, admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and unlawful wounding. He was sent indefinitely to a high security mental hospital.After his arrest Callaghan was diagnosed as being a paranoid schizophrenic. He told psychiatrists that for several months he had been hearing voices in his head urging him to kill and had seen a man 'with horns on his head'. He said he began drinking heavily to cope with these visions.article-1223102-06F7FFCB000005DC-284_233x423.jpg
