Facts of the Case
Background
The accused killed his elder brother by striking him three times on the head with an iron bar in their kitchen on 12 July 2015, following a dispute over access to food. He then dismembered the body and buried the parts in a shallow well and stored some in a bee-hive, which were later discovered by a neighbor's dogs and police investigation.
