An 18-year-old British teenager has left the world in shock after carrying out an AI-assisted murder, killing his own mother after carefully planning the attack online. As reported by BBC, Tristan Roberts, from Prestatyn, north Wales, didn't just commit a horrific crime—he openly shared his intentions on Discord, consulted an AI chatbot about the most effective way to kill, and left a digital trail that experts say should alarm anyone concerned about teen violence in 2026.
