Man Pleads Guilty to Killing Brother

Matyas Carlos Bo has pleaded guilty to manslaughter for stabbing his brother to death during a drunken argument in Bella Vista Village last year.

The plea was entered on Monday before Justice Antoinette Moore. He is now scheduled to be sentenced on August 5th. Bo had initially been charged with murder but accepted a reduced charge for the killing of John Bo on September 25, 2024.

The brothers were drinking with three other men at John Bo’s home when an argument broke out. Both were reportedly intoxicated. During the confrontation, it is reported that Matyas pulled a pocketknife and stabbed John in the chest. John picked up a piece of cement block to defend himself, but before a second stab could be inflicted, one of the men intervened and stopped Matyas.

John Bo later died from his injuries.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions Javier Chan.
