Roberts allegedly stabbed his brother, Gregory Roberts, to death after the two had an argument over $1,000, which he had borrowed.
At around 8:30 on Sunday night the two argued over the money and the accused allegedly threw the money on the ground. This further angered his brother and they become involved in a scuffle. The younger brother, a labourer, then alleged grabbed a knife from the kitchen and stabbed 26-year-old Gregory.
