Police in Neno district have arrested Molesi Peter for allegedly killing his brother Fabiano Kadyamba Moses.

Neno police station publicist Rebbeca Msoliza says their preliminary investigations show that, Fabiano (now deceased) and the suspect alongside their in-law Aubrey Chikhosi, went to drink kachasu beer at Chidakwani village.

Upon returning home, the suspect reportedly started quarreling with his in-law accusing him of stealing his itel cellphone and ropes. The suspect then resorted to beating his in-law, and when Fabiano (deceased) saw this, he intervened to stop his brother from beating the in-law.

The suspect then allegedly pushed Fabiano to the ground where he sustained a cut and bruises on the forehead and was rushed to Neno District Hospital where he was again referred to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital but died on the way.

Postmortem results showed that death was due to aspiration of secretion due to low oxygen supply as a result of head injuries.
