Older brother charged in the murder of younger brother

Cain, the firstborn of Adam and Eve, was calm and showed no remorse or emotion as he described the murder of his younger brother, Abel. Cain told investigators he attacked his brother Abel and killed him in the field.

“The slaying is the first case of murder in the history of mankind”, said the investigator. “This murder comes as a shock to the community.”

The prosecutor filed charges of murder against Cain. The family did not immediately return messages for comment.

Cain told investigators he was angry with his brother. Cain drew up a plan to kill his brother Abel by luring him out to the field where Abel normally kept flocks and Cain worked the soil. Initially, when questioned about Abel’s whereabouts, Cain replied, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

A source close to the family who choose to remain anonymous, said that Abel would offer fat portions from the firstborn of his flock to the LORD, while Cain withheld the best fruit of his harvest from the LORD.

“The LORD looked with favor on Abel’s offering”, said the source. “But unfortunately, the LORD did not favor Cain’s offering.”

Cain was sentenced to life as a restless wanderer on the earth and has settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
