The answer is "it is classified as siblicide".

Siblicide refers to the killing of an individual by its nearby relatives (full or half kin). It might happen straightforwardly between kin or be intervened by the guardians. Siblicidal conduct can be either obligate or facultative. In short we can say that siblicide is killing of sibling.
