THRISSUR: It has been discovered that a young man who was thought to have died in a bike accident was killed by his own brother by hitting him on the head with a helmet. The dead is Shine (28), a native of Arimboor. His brother Sherin (27) and his friend Arun (25) were arrested in the incident.

The incident happened last Saturday night at 10:30 pm. Shine was a painting worker in Trichy. After coming to Thrissur, Shine called Sherin to drop him home. But since Shereen was drunk, he brought Arun along with him to the bus stand. At this time, Shine was drinking with his friend at the bar.

After drinking, the three left for home.

Arun was riding the bike. Meanwhile, the bike ran out of petrol when it reached Aranattukara road. Following this, there was an argument regarding the payment of petrol and the demand for the return of the money and interest which Shine had bought earlier from Sherin. As the argument escalated, Sherin hit his brother on the head with the helmet he was holding. Shine immediately fell unconscious on the ground.

Seeing him unconscious, they pushed him from the bike. They later called the police and the ambulance. The two told them that he met with an accident. But after the post-mortem report came out, it was proved to be a murder after the post-mortem report revealed that the death was not due to a fall on the head but due to internal bleeding due to a severe blow. The police said that after questioning, both of them confessed to the crime.
