A 16-year-old boy from Great Brak River has been arrested for allegedly murdering his 25-year-old brother.

Police spokesperson, Sergeant Laurianne Botha says a preliminary investigation suggests that the two brothers were involved in a fight at their home in Green Haven early on Sunday morning.

She says it is alleged that the suspect walked to the kitchen, took a knife out of the drawer, and stabbed his brother in the neck.

The victim was declared dead at the scene.

The suspect was arrested at his home and will appear in the Great Brak River Magistrate's Court on Tuesday on a charge of murder.
