A 45-year-old labourer was murdered by his brother at Mathigiri on Thursday.
According to the police, Madanmohan had borrowed Rs.10,000 for his younger brother Nagaboosanam (42) recently. On Thursday night, the victim had reportedly demanded that the loan be paid back. This led to an altercation between Nagaboosanam and the victim. In a fit of rage, Nagaboosanam stabbed his brother in his throat. Madanmohan died on the spot. The police recovered the body and secured the accused.
