The Biblical prophecy in the Book of Mark 13:12, which foretold that in the last days "brothers will betray brothers to death," appears to have been fulfilled as a brother reportedly killed his own brother during the Liberian civil upheaval.

A weeping widow recently told the Liberia Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Public hearings in Grand Kru County that her late husband, Victor Swen, was gruesomely killed by his own brother for refusing to join the Liberia Peace Council (LPC), a rebel faction of George Borley in Sinoe County.

Madam Betty Weah, a mother of four, narrated that her late husband's brother killed him for telling him (alleged perpetrator) 'all of us can't join the warring force'.

In astonishment to the audience some of whom wept, the widow recollected how Othello Swen, her late husband's murderer also executed her own parents in Government Camp.

With great disappointment, she noted that Swen is not catering to his late brother's children who are living in the same village with him.

She disclosed that Swen who hardly speaks to her is not in good relationship with his parents who are also against his devilish action.
