Man Stabs Brother In Heart With Scissors During Row Over Washing Up

This smiling picture of two brothers in happier times has ended after one stabbed the other in the heart with a pair of scissors in a row over who should do the dishes.

The victim, Jeferson Lucas Batista de Souza, 27, seen here wearing glasses, was killed instantly after the scissors pierced his heart following the row between the pair in the Brazilian municipality of Andradina in the early hours of 25th February.

His brother Jhonatan Willian Batista de Souza, 26, was arrested by the cops afterwards at the home they shared together following the pointless row over who should have done the washing up.

Police officer Thiago Barroco told local media it was a pointless row that the alleged killer now bitterly regretted.

He said: “They had a disagreement and it ended in tragedy. The penny has finally dropped for the brother and so have his tears.”
