THRISSUR: A youth killed his brother in Thrissur for causing a ruckus after getting drunk. Sabu, the accused, killed his brother Babu and buried him last Saturday. Both are natives of Muthulli in Thrissur.

On March 19th, the accused Sabu and his mother lodged a complaint with the police stating that Babu had gone missing. Meanwhile, a neighbour who came to graze the cow became suspicious when he saw soil removed in a part of the field near Babu's house.

He then informed other locals. Later, the locals dug the soil from the field and unearthed a part of a hand. Soon, the police reached the area and examined the body and identified the deceased as Babu.

Upon questioning, Sabu confessed to the police that he had strangled Babu and buried his body in the empty field.

Sabu told police that he committed the murder as Babu used to frequently quarrel with him after getting drunk.
