A GERMAN internet fan accused of murdering a British student after a cyberspace row may have been in love with his alleged victim’s girlfriend, it was revealed yesterday.
David Heiss, 21, was arrested after the stabbing of Matthew Pyke, 20, a week ago.
Matthew and Heiss met through a website for fans of the computer game Advance Wars.

Police believe Heiss and Matthew may have fallen out in an online forum.
Heiss is then thought to have flown to Nottingham and killed Matthew at his bedsit in the city centre.
But several times he reportedly visited Matthew and girlfriend Joanna Witton, who found his body, and had become besotted with her.
Heiss was traced to his home near Frankfurt after he posted a message to Joanna on her Facebook site.
He wrote: “I will pray for you, Jo. I’m sorry for having caused so much trouble lately.”
Heiss was in court in Frankfurt yesterday for an extradition hearing.
