A chainsaw is suspected of being used in the murder of a man on the NSW South Coast, as police investigate if a drug dispute led to the death.

Another man is also understood to be in a critical condition in hospital.

A group of people were heard yelling and screaming about 2am, followed by the loud revs of what is believed to be a chainsaw, according to the Daily Telegraph.
