The Regional Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner Josef Anghuwo, says the two brothers had a quarrel at their parents' home.

The older boy, Nande Jonas, was chasing his brother when the latter grabbed a knife and stabbed him in the chest.

Jonas died in the Oshakati State Hospital before doctors could attend to him.

Some sources told The Namibian that Jonas was stabbed in a nearby church, where his younger brother ran while Jonas was chasing him.
