KEVIN HARRIS MURDERS BROTHER IN FARNCOMBE HOME DURING MONEY DISPUTE

In a tragic and violent incident that unfolded on Summers Road in Farncombe, Kevin Harris, aged 51, was convicted of fatally stabbing his own brother, Mark Harris, aged 47. The events leading to this devastating crime took place within the confines of their shared residence, leaving the local community shocked and mourning.

According to court proceedings, Kevin Harris claimed that the stabbing was an act of self-defense during a heated argument over money. The dispute escalated on a day in February, culminating in Kevin wielding a knife and fatally injuring his brother. The case was thoroughly examined over a seven-day trial at Guildford Crown Court, where the evidence was presented and scrutinized.

After deliberation, the jury found Kevin Harris guilty of murder. The court subsequently sentenced him to life imprisonment, with a minimum term of 12 years before he becomes eligible for parole. During the trial, it was disclosed that Harris admitted to stabbing his brother and further revealed that he disposed of the murder weapon by throwing the knife into a canal, an act that underscored the gravity of the crime.

Surrey Police's Detective Chief Inspector Karen Mizzi commented on the case, expressing her sentiments about the impact on the family and the community. She stated, "This has been a deeply upsetting time for the family and although it is good that justice has been served, this is little comfort to them. I hope the conclusion of the judicial process will give the family some form of closure."

As the community grapples with the aftermath of this tragic event, the case serves as a stark reminder of how disputes can escalate into violence with devastating consequences, especially within the sanctity of a family home in Farncombe.
