A recorded history of domestic violence ended when Uriel Adames-Gomez, 29, dialed 911 shortly before 8 p.m. Tuesday and said he'd just stabbed Gabriel Adames-Gomez, 26.
Adames-Gomez told borough police that "he had stabbed and killed his brother," Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said.
Officers responding to the call found Adames-Gomez in front of the Union Avenue building across from Union School and -- next to the Rutherford Fire Department's West End firehouse -- and took him into custody, Musella said.
They then found his slain brother, a large kitchen knife and a horrific scene in Apartment 1B, the prosecutor said.
Gabriel Adames-Gomez apparently was sitting in a recliner when his brother repeatedly stabbed him in the chest and neck with the 7-inch blade, responders told Daily Voice.
The assault continued, with the victim stabbed over and again, in what the accused killer claimed was an attempt to "remove demons" from inside his brother, they said.
Uriel Adames-Gomez was taken to Bergen New Bridge Medical Center in Paramus in police custody with cuts of his own.
He was then taken to the Bergen County Jail to await a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack on charges of murder and illegal weapons possession.
Musella's Major Crimes Unit joined Rutherford police and assumed primary responsibility for the investigation.
A stretch of Union Avenue remained closed deep into the night while members of the Bergen County Sheriff's Bureau of Criminal Identification processed the scene for evidence.
