"Kill Gramps for his Loot" is the game the whole family can play

A BRITISH schoolgirl has been imprisoned for her part in a family plot to kill her elderly grandfather to get at his money.

The 16-year-old girl searched the internet with her 49-year-old mother, 19-year-old brother and his 17-year-old girlfriend for ''the easiest way to kill an old person''.

They researched the possibility of poisoning the 89-year-old with toadstools but then in a campaign to try to ''frighten him to death'' threw bricks through his window at night and cut the fuel line on his car to try to make it explode.

Finally, they attacked the man, who lived with his 87-year-old wife, using bricks in plastic bags at his bungalow in a village near Winchester, in southern England. The pensioner suffered head injuries but survived the beating.
