JUST like in the Bible where Cain allowed his anger to boil over and kill his brother, one brother did the same.
A brother from H section in Umlazi, south of Durban allegedly killed his older brother with a knife.
And all the 26-year-old dead brother wanted was for his younger brother to stop smoking in their yard.
He was stabbed to death after a heated argument with his younger brother (23) at their home on Sunday, 22 March.
It's alleged that the older brother reprimanded his younger brother to stop smoking in their home, but he refused to listen, argued with his brother and allegedly stabbed him to death.

According to a neighbour asked not to be named fearing for his life, the brothers grew up together and lived together.
"So the younger brother was smoking in their home. His brother tried reprimand him, but he got angry and started swearing at himThe argument became louder and violent. Then the younger brother rushed to get a knife from the kitchen and stabbed him to death," said the neighbour.
The neighbour said he doesn't think the younger brother intended to kill his big brother, but things got out of hand.
KZN police spokesman Colonel Robert Netshiunda said the Umlazi cops have arrested a 23-year-old man in connection with a murder at H Section in Umlazi where a 26-year-old man was allegedly fatally stabbed.
