Not that I don't understand the feelings of the 64-year-old man, but it's bad to go that far to kill his brother.
That said, given his physically disabled 79-year-old brother, um, that sounds like a lot of bother... I mean, "the wearer best knows where the shoe wrings him." RIP.

That's something a lot of us can relate to...

Don't worry, he had a note asking him to do it. So it's okay.
