A MAN was hacked to death allegedly by his three brothers, Eastern Cape police said yesterday.

Superintendent Mzukisi Fatyela said the four had a quarrel on Tuesday evening, shortly before the 28-year-old Libode man was killed.

"We don't know what the argument was about," Fatyela said.

Police said a machete was the weapon used.

The trio - aged 16, 20, and 30 - were later arrested and are due to appear in the Libode magistrate's court on a charge of murder. - Sapa
