It was alleged that the cousins had several previous misunderstandings in relation to the suspect allegedly stealing from Dipchan.
It is alleged that at around 18:30hrs, Dipchan saw his cousin coming from a western direction under the influence of alcohol.
The cousin allegedly threw a hammer, which struck Dipchan to the head.
After he collapsed, Dipchan’s cousin rushed up to him and punched him and struck him with a paling stave.
The injured man managed to run a short distance before collapsing. He was subsequently escorted by ranks of a Community Police Group (GPC) to the hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The suspect is in police custody.
Dipchan leaves to mourn his wife and two-year old son.
