Gogrial man kills brother over goat sold for Christmas clothes
A 24-year-old man, Akeen Akeen Akok, is accused of killing his elder brother in Gogrial town, Warrap State, on Tuesday after a fight over a he-goat sold to buy Christmas clothes.
According to Gogrial West County Police Inspector Col. Joseph Mathony Nhial, the deceased, 27-year-old Akok Akeen Akok, recognized his he-goat in the market, which had been sold by his younger brother without his consent.
He then searched for his brother to confront him, and during the fight, he was ultimately killed by the younger brother.
โA younger brother took his elder brother's he-goat and sold it at the auction. The elder brother came to the auction and recognized his he-goat. When he asked, he was told that someone named Akee Akeen sold it to them,โ said Col. Mathony.
โHe went to the market to search for his younger brother, and they started fighting. The elder brother was punched in the chest, causing him to lose consciousness, and he later died in the hospital."
Col. Mathony said the accused, Akeen Akeen Akok, is now in police custody for legal procedures and urged residents to resolve family disputes peacefully and avoid violence.
