Red Dead Redemption 2: game criticised over killing of suffragette

Users of the much-anticipated game have posted videos of avatars beating and killing a female character

The makers of the most anticipated video game of the year, Red Dead Redemption 2, have been criticised after players recorded videos of themselves beating, abusing and killing a suffragette character.

After its release in late October, the game - in which players can choose whether to speak to, rob, abuse or kill characters they interact with - was praised for its extraordinary attention to detail.
