A St Thomas man accused of stabbing his brother to death over a headphone was yesterday offered $250,000 bail when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court.

Winston Lindsay was arrested on August 9 -- a day after he allegedly killed his brother, 36-year-old Leroy Lindsay, who was a Seventh-Day Adventist elder of Sommerset in St Thomas.

The incident reportedly occurred at their father's home in St Thomas where the now deceased and his church brethren had gone to do cleaning.

The Crown is alleging that Winston confronted his brother over the headphone, which he accused him of taking. However, the brother denied taking the device and was allegedly attacked and stabbed in his side with a machete.

According to the prosecutor, there are two alleged eyewitnesses -- one who overheard Winston threatening to kill his brother and another who saw both brothers wrestling on the ground and Leroy later bleeding profusely from his side.

"So did anyone see the actual stabbing?" Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey enquired.

The prosecutor, in reply, said 'no' but indicated that one witness allegedly saw Winston with a knife and machete and even intervened to prevent him from stabbing his brother after he lay bleeding on the ground.

According to the prosecutor, one of the witnesses alleged that while laying on the ground, Leroy blurted, "Look how Winston kill me fi something that me nuh know bout." more
