Rhys Jolley, 27, hit his younger brother over the head while the pair watched television at their home in Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire, on 3 May. Detectives said Jolley claimed he acted in self-defence, saying his sibling had stabbed him three times in the leg.Cambridgeshire Police said the brother - who suffered a fractured skull and had to have 14 stitches - fled to a neighbour's house and called for help after the "unprovoked attack".
