(Note: Déagol was not Sméagol's brother but his friend (although considering the size of the settlement they were certainly related n some way).)
Jealousy and greed. It was Smeagol's birthday, and when Déagol found the Ring of Power in the mud, Smeagol wanted it as a "birthday present". When Deagol kept the Ring instead, Smeagol murdered Déagol to get the ring.
There is an ongoing subtext in the Lord of the Ring that the Ring of Power has a "mind of its own", and was striving to return to Sauron. Seen in this light, it may be that the Ring CAUSED Smeagol to murder Deagol, because Smeagol would be a "more suitable" ring-bearer for Sauron's aims.

∙ 7y agoIn the books the Lothlorien elves never participate in the battle at Helms deep. That plot element was added for fleshing out alliances of the elves and men. They had him killed to add a sense of loss to the battle since no other significant characters died there. Seeing how you're taking the time to post about it, I'd say they succeeded.

Who is Deagol that Gollum took the ring from?
He is Smeagol's (gollum's) cousin.
Why does Gollum become Smeagol throughout the Two Towers?
Gollum is already Smeagol to begin with. That's his real name before he took the ring from Deagol. But he changes into himself again because Smeagol thinks that Gollum is no longer needed anymore. So Smeagol becomes more nice during The Two Towers but changes back to his old self.
Who is Gollum and who is Smeagol?
Smeagol is nicer. In the movies Gollum love and hates the ring and shows the hate between us if there was no God to save us. On the other hand Smeagol tries to honor and serve his master frodo and tries to fight of Gollum even though they are the same person. Gollum and Smeagul show the fights we have with ourselves on good and evil or right and wrong.
How does gollum guess that Bilbo has his ring in hobbit?
Bilbo and Gollum enter into a riddle game. While trying to think of a riddle, Bilbo is fiddling around in his pocket, and he happens to feel the ring he had just picked up. He didn't think much about picking it up, so, while, trying to come up with a riddle, he mumbled, "What do I have in my pocket?" In spite of this not being a proper riddle for the riddle game, Gollum accepted it and asked for and received 3 tries to answer it. He failed, then went back to get the ring from where he thought he'd hidden it (actually, it had fallen off without his noticing). When he saw the ring was gone and remembered Bilbo's odd question, he put 2 and 2 together and deduced Bilbo had the ring in his pocket.I believe it was when Bilbo couldn't come up with a riddle, so he thought out loud the question: "What have I got in my pocket?" After Gollum realized he didn't have his ring, he then supposed that it was, indeed, in Bilbo's pocket.Because Gollum found him and would not tell him the way out until Bilbo gave him the Ring and Bilbo would not give him the ring untless he answered the riddles correctly.Gollum and bilbo have a game of riddles, bilbo asks, "what have I got in my pockets?"

He was trying to hide the truth that he killed his cousin Deagol to get the ring, and, after several hundred years of telling that story, he probably believes it now.

In Chapter 5 of 'The Hobbit' what was Gollum's birthday present and why was it so important?
It was the One Ring. His cousin Deagol found it in the bottom of the river Anduin and Smeagol (Gollum) killed him for it. One of the justifications was that it was his birthday and it was a present for him. The Ring is important because it is the pivotal reason for the entire book: the re-emergence and ultimate destruction of the Ring.The way that Gollum came by the Ring is also important: because the Ring came to him by evil means, it corrupted Gollum that much easier. In the end, Gollum's complete corruption and lust for the Ring was what (ironically) saved Middle-Earth.
Who is Tolkien's ring lover?
This question could have several answers. Sauron, Nazgul (aka ring-wraiths), Isildur, Deagol, Smeagol (aka Gollum), Bilbo, Frodo, Boromir, etc. Though it is not really the ring they love is it?
Where is gollum and where does he live?
It's kind of hard to explain. There's one hobbit named Smeagol, and his friend (Deagol) finds the one ring. Smeagol strangles him for it, and then gets corrupted by it (the ring), and turns into Gollum. However, sometimes he's able to control Gollum and be Smeagol, but usually he's Gollum, but can have conversations with Smeagol. So basically, he's a dude with split-personality disorder. Gollum/Smeagol doesn't really have a home, but when he finds the ring, he goes to a cave in the Misty Mountains, but leaves when the ring is stolen from him by Bilbo. This is not completely right look under discuss this question for the correct answer.
Who played Gollum in The Lord of the Rings?
Andy Serkis was the voice of Gollum. They used many of his facial features and expressions and movements for the animated Gollum.Andy Serkis voiced Gollum and acted the part of Smeagol when he kills his friend Deagol. The facial features of Gollum are loosely based on those of Serkis, and the body movements of Gollum were created in such a way that they would match the voice and sounds that Serkis had him make. (Something that I found interesting is that Serkis based many of Gollum's sounds on those made by his pet cat.)Gollum (Smeagol) was played by Andy Serkis in the films and will also be played by him in the up and coming 'Hobbit' films
