The incident happened on Thursday, about 18:45hrs, at Back Street, Den Amstel.
According to police, enquiries disclosed that the deceased and the suspect were consuming alcohol on Thursday when now Jordan left. The sibling followed Jordan, caught up with him a short distance away and held on to him, trying to pull him.
“The deceased, however, held on to a neighbour’s gate,” the report said, “but the suspect continued to pull him during which he lost his grip on the gate, after which the suspect pushed him to the ground, resulting in the victim hitting his head on the road and losing consciousness.”
Police said that from investigations, the suspect then dragged his brother across the street where he threw him into a trench and refused to render assistance. The motionless body of the man was pulled from the trench by two persons who were passing and who saw what transpired.
Jordan was taken to the Leonora Cottage Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The body is presently at the Ezekiel Funeral Home awaiting a Post Mortem Examination. The suspect was later arrested and remains in custody as the investigation continues.
