Daijiworld Media Network - Puttur
Puttur, Nov 18: John Sequeira, accused of killing his brother Joachim over a property dispute on November 14, surrendered before the court in Puttur on Saturday, November 18.
Puttur police have now taken the custody of John Sequeira.
It may be recalled that Joachim and John, residents of Kailara in Beltangady taluk, had an argument over a property issue. As the situation turned worse, John, in a fit of rage, hit Joachim with an iron rod. Though Joachim was rushed to hospital, he breathed his last on the way.
It is said that the brothers used to have arguments over the property bequeathed by their late father Anthony Sequeira almost on a daily basis. John is married and has a child, while Joachim had planned to marry soon. They lived in the same house with their mother.
Joachim had plans to build his own house and shift there after marriage. He had even laid foundation stone for it near the present house. This had led to further dispute between them, ultimately leading to Joachim's death on November 14.
