WEST GOSHEN, Pa. (WPVI) -- Police in say a Chester County man who stabbed his brother to death earlier this week, did so in self-defense.

Investigators say 32-year-old Earle Bonnini stabbed his 23-year-old brother Nicholas to death during an argument on Tuesday afternoon.

The two lived together in a home on Estate Drive in West Goshen.

Prosecutors say Nicholas struck Earle repeatedly with a chain.

Earle, they say, then stabbed him, but called 911 and even performed CPR.
