Chicago Police
A man was charged with murder for allegedly fatally stabbing his older brother with a butcher knife in a dispute over $2 early Tuesday in the South Side's Englewood neighborhood, police said.
Phillip Binder, 33, was charged with murder. Bond was denied for Binder on Thursday in Violence Court (Br. 66).
About 2 a.m. Tuesday, Phillip and Charles Binder were inside Charles' home at 2027 W. 70th Pl. with other family members when Phillip allegedly stabbed Charles in the chest -- reportedly with a butcher knife in a fight over $2, police said.
The money was reportedly going be used to purchase drugs, police said.
Charles Binder, 35, was pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn at 2:49 a.m. Tuesday. A Tuesday autopsy determined Binder died of a stab wound to the chest and his death was ruled a homicide, the Cook County Medical Examiner's office said.
