TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese boy burned down his home, killing his stepmother and two younger siblings, for fear his parents would find out he had lied about his score on an English test.

The 16-year-old, whose name has not been released, is thought to have set fire to the house in Nara, western Japan, and left his stepmother to die along with his 7-year-old brother and 5-year-old sister, domestic media reports said on Saturday.

The boy's parents had been due to attend a meeting with teachers about his exam results that same day, reports said. The teen-ager told police his father, a doctor, had put him under extreme pressure over his academic performance, Kyodo news agency said.

Damn Delgado. Seem to be going a wee bit overboard there with some comments. High School in Japan is ridiculous. Some crazy standards. When kids are done with school, they go out and find a tutor so they can do more school work. No wonder Japan has one of the world's best school systems. Really puts ours to shame. But regardless, that kid was a psycho. There's no justifying what he did. Killing your family because you did bad on a test :screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :screwy: :screwy:
