In Harlem, a 23-year-old man has been charged with the murder of his 74-year-old great uncle, whom he fatally stabbed in the apartment they shared. The defense attorney stated that the act was in self-defense, as the uncle had attacked with a butcher knife and the family had been 'living in terror' of him. A previous altercation between the two had almost been lethal, with the phrase 'They almost killed each other last time' highlighting the severity. Prosecutors say the fatal knife fight was sparked by a dispute over bathroom access.
