Landover man charged with stabbing brother to death, police say

A 28-year-old Prince George’s County man is being held without bond after police say he stabbed his brother to death at the home they shared in Landover

A judge ordered that the suspect remain in the custody of the Department of Corrections as prosecutors say he is considered a danger to the community and a flight risk. 

Police say Kelly murdered his brother Monday. Officers were called to the scene in the 8600 block of Reicher Street around 6 p.m. Monday where they found the victim, Simi Kelley, with a stab wound to the upper body. 

Simi was taken to Capital Region Medical Center where he later succumbed to his injury.
