A FIST fight that allegedly broke out between two brothers at home yesterday afternoon left one of them dead. The body of a 23-year-old, Mr Mohd Hassan Othman, was found lying face up in the living room of his family's four-room flat in Tampines when the police arrived. He was pronounced dead by paramedics at 4pm.

His 18-year-old brother, who was also in the flat, was arrested at the scene. The secondary school student did not put up a struggle. The case has since been classified as murder. The victim, who had a history of mental illness, was alone at home with his brother when the fight allegedly broke out.
