Man kills own brother

JAKARTA (JP): A 39-year-old man was stabbed to death by his brother Saturday night in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, because the victim kept asking their mother for money.

Armansyah, 36, fatally stabbed Darwin in the chest after a bitter argument at their house, a relative said yesterday.

According to the relative, who asked for anonymity, an apparently drunk Armansyah saw his brother yell at their mother for money.

"Armansyah advised his brother not to keep asking their mother for money. But Darwin was angry with his younger brother. Then they fought," the relative said at the Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital morgue.

Armansyah allegedly picked up a knife from the table and stabbed Darwin. The victim died on the way to the hospital and Armansyah turned himself in to police. (jun)
