A man suspected of stabbing his brother to death in the town of Kfar Yona was arrested after an hours-long manhunt Monday evening.

The Israel Police had asked the public for information about the whereabouts of Argao Asars, 32, after his 18-year-old brother was found dead in their family's home in central Israel Monday afternoon.

Channel 2 reported that Asars has a history of psychiatric problems.

Investigators believe the brothers may have gotten into an argument, during which Asars stabbed and murdered his younger sibling.
