Former County Durham pharmacist found guilty of murdering his younger brother in knife attack

A former County Durham pharmacist has been found guilty of murdering his younger brother.

Inderjit Klare repeatedly stabbed his 40-year-old sibling Jasreet with a kitchen knife before leaving him to bleed to death. The 43-year-old then waited 90 minutes before calling for an ambulance. Jasreet, who was known to his family and friends as 'Jas', was attacked in their family fish and chip restaurant in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, during the early hours of October 9 last year.

Klare, of Eve Lane, Spennymoor, County Durham, had been facing a trial at Teesside Crown Court accused of murder - which he denied, claiming self-defence. But on Friday afternoon, the jury returned to deliver a guilty verdict to the charge of murder.
