A former pharmacist who stabbed his brother to death after spending a drink and drug fuelled night together has been caged for 19 years.
Inderjit Klare repeatedly stabbed his 40-year-old sibling Jasreet with a kitchen knife and left him to bleed to death following an argument last year. The 43-year-old, who had spent the night drinking booze and taking cocaine with his brother, then waited over an hour before calling for an ambulance and got rid of the murder weapon and cleaned the scene.
Jasreet, who was known to his family and friends as 'Jas' and was a father-of-two, was attacked in the family's fish and chip restaurant in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, during the early hours of October 9 last year. He sustained several knife wounds, including one fatal gash which severed an artery in his right arm, leading to his death.
