Report online has it that an 18-year-old South African boy allegedly poisoned his three-year-old brother to death to hurt his parents.

The toddler was laid to rest on Friday, February 7, 2025

"The child’s mother was at home with the accused and her other two sons, aged 16 and 22, when she noticed that her youngest son was missing. Assuming he was playing at a neighbour’s house, she did not raise the immediate alarm. However, by 1pm, when the child had still not returned, she started searching for him
The 16-year-old younger brother of the accused went to a nearby veld near the N1 highway to feed his goats when he saw the accused placing the child’s body inside a dustbin.

"After confronting him, the brother took the dustbin containing the child's body to their home and informed their mother. Emergency services were called, and the child was declared dead at the scene,

She added that the following day, the accused handed himself over to the police and allegedly confessed to poisoning his brother with rat poison to hurt his parents

That was scary, a brother poisoned his young brother. What kind of love does he have? He will rot in jail and never experience younghood.

Now this is just pure wickedness. Imagine a young child could imagine something like this, its well with the generation we are in right now.

Such actions are truly evil. There are heartless individuals in the world. I don’t understand his reasons for hurting his parents, but killing his younger brother is pure evil.

Yeah very wrong of the older brother. The boy was innocent he would have rather faced the parents.

 

[Starmix]

He is 18 and the boy he poisoned his young brother who is only only 3 years old. He drank the poison without malice .

Some things we read and this wasn't a step brother but his biological brother. This is just too bad

 

[Starmix]

Yes, too bad, a biological brother killed his baby brother. That sucks, the parents might have felt hurt but his sentence in prison can hurt his future and life itself being a criminal.

Any time I come across this post it came me angry. You kill an innocent person for nothi g just unfortunate for the small hoy.

 

[Starmix]

What the criminal see and feel is evil. I sometimes cannot understand why there are people like that. It's important to guide the children with the right values. That criminal felt jealous of his baby brother for having much love than him. He's also wrong.

 

[Augusta]

But he would have discussed that with his parents than being against his brother. It is just a pity seriously

 

[Starmix]

It is also wrong for him not to express his true feelings of being not loved to his parents so he will understand that his parents love him too. If he onlly did it.

 

[Augusta]

it can never be easy for parents that are going through this with their children. one killing the other

 

[Starmix]

The parents of the little boy might have suffered mental and emotional stress . They should also be fair to the killer son who felt jealous to his ,little brother who has no malice

 

[Augusta]

Well, I don't think the law would look at all of that. it would take its full course to jail the boy
