The victim's elder brother, Mohd Nor Aminuddin, said Mohamad Nur Akram was an easygoing person and was not problematic.
"He's a little shy around people, but he likes to help. The last I saw him was on Labour Day," said Mohd Nor Aminuddin.
Mohamad Nur Akram's body was first sent to the Raja Perempuan Zainab II Hospital's forensics unit for post-mortem before it was taken to Wakaf Berangan cemetery in Pasir Puteh for burial.
Meanwhile, Kelantan police chief Datuk Mazlan Lazim, said the victim had died of severe injuries on the right of the neck after being hit by a strong blow.
"The victim was given cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) before being sent to a health clinic in Bachok where he was pronounced dead at 1.30am this morning," he was quoted by Bernama as saying.
"The victim's blood flow to the brain was severed as a result of a fatal kick by the suspect who is believed to have self-defence skills such as silat or tomoi," he reportedly said.
Mazlan said the suspect, who hails from Melor here, was detained by police at 12.30pm.
He said police considered the case as solved with the arrest of the suspect, adding that the suspect will be remanded tomorrow.
