The Justice de Rivera prosecuted in the last hours the man who shot his brother to death and then turned himself in to the Police.
The fraticide was registered in the city of Rivera this Sunday, when a 29-year-old man murdered his brother with several shots.
According to what was reported by the Police Headquarters of the border department, the incident occurred in the last hours of this Sunday in the Cuartel neighborhood. In the surroundings of Luis Battle Berres and Misiones streets, two brothers aged 29 and 32 were arguing when, at a certain moment, the youngest of them drew a firearm and shot his relative up to three times, wounding him in the chest area.
The murderer turned himself in and was charged with various crimes
Around midnight, the murderer appeared before the 10th Section of the Rivera Police and confessed to the fraticide. Given this fact, the PADO agents went to the scene of the events and found the victim still alive. The wounded man was immediately transferred to a local health center, but once there, the medical personnel could only verify his death from his injuries.
