Harry Potter actor stabbed to death over a cell phone

This is really heartbreaking and shocking news from The Telegraph. Robert Knox, 18, who acted a minor role in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was killed in London over a cell phone.

"Mr Knox, a grammar school boy, is understood to have been fatally stabbed after trying to save his 16-year-old brother, Jamie, from a man armed with two knives.

Russell Wood, 21 at the scene said: "This guy started accusing everybody of nicking his mobile phone... The next thing we knew this chap was outside with about five of his mates. Everybody just tried to get the knife off him and in the process, it seemed, too many people got stabbed."
