Farmer accused of murdering brother

A 25-year-old farmer from Clarendon has been charged in the killing of his brother.

Romain Bell, of Hazard Drive, May Pen, has been charged with the murder of 28-year-old Kemroy Brown, a labourer of said address, following a dispute in their community last Friday. Reports from the May Pen police are that about 1:47 p.m., Bell and Brown went to visit their mother's home, when an argument developed between them which got physical. It is alleged that Brown pulled a knife and stabbed Bell multiple times. Bell took the said knife and stabbed Brown. Both men were taken to the hospital where Brown died while being treated and Bell was treated and released.

He turned himself in to the police where he was arrested and charged on Monday, following a question and answer session in the presence of his attorney.

His court date is being finalised.
