'Nooloigah went back to the campfire and brought a cooked possum to his brother. 'Eat the fat of this possum and you will feel better.' As he sat up to take the possum the cloak slipped down showing that the younger brother was covered in smudged gudin.
'So', thought Nooloigah, 'my own brother has stolen my wife!’

Now, in those times, the penalty for wife stealing was death but the punishment had to be given by the elders. Nooloigah knew this but his anger overcame him and rushed his brother with his charmed bilar (spear). After a terrible fight Nooloigah killed his own brother.

Some of the elders felt that Nooloigah should be punished for taking the law into his own hands. A Wuyari-gali (Cleverman) began to sing a song that made Nooloigah very sick.

Nooloigah dreamed his brother's spirit came to him and asked: 'Why did you kill me, brother? It was Bani who did wrong.

The words of his brother's spirit echoed in his mind until Nooloigah felt his own spirit weaken.
Nooloigah cried out 'I have murdered my brother, I have murdered my brother.' The sounds echoed through the forest, haunting all the baygal.
