Udupi, Nov 2: A quarrel between siblings which centered around sharing of ancestral property and paying expenses snowballed into major confrontation between them at Hosangadi Kairumane in Perdur village in the taluk. At the end, the fight ended in the murder of the elder brother. This tragic incident occurred on Monday October 31.
Manjunath Mogera (40) from Kairumane Hosangadi was killed by his younger brother, Sadhu Mogera, in this incident.
These two brothers lived in their ancestral house at Kairumane along with their mother. Sadhu, since sometime, was not at all going out for any gainful employment and was just lazying around. He often kicked up a fight with his elder brother by demanding sharing of property and money for his personal expenses, it is gathered.
At around 3.45 pm on Monday, Sadhu began to quarrel with Manjunath on this issue for the umpteenth time. When the quarrel escalated, he picked up a wooden cudgel and hit the head and other parts of his elder brother. Manjunath, who suffered critical injuries in this attack, fell unconscious.
A local , Sundar Mogera, who learnt about the incident, admitted Manjunath Mogera into the district government hospital in the town. The doctors could not save him.
On the basis of complaint filed by Sundar Mogera, Sadhu Mogera was arrested by Hiriyadka police, who are investigating the case.
