A Rohingya was hacked to death by unidentified criminals at a refugee camp in Ukhiya upazila of Cox’s Bazar on Saturday night.
The deceased was identified as Md Yasin, 43, of Block C/1 under camp 15, said Shamim Hossain, officer-in-charge (OC) of Ukhiya Police Station.
Yasin was a night guard at an NGO-run community centre, he said.
Criminals hacked him to death near the community centre in the Jamtoli area at Camp 15 around 10:00pm, said the OC.
The police speculate that the murder was committed by criminals looking to establish supremacy in the camp.
Meanwhile, locals said Yasin’s brother Md Manur is a leader of the Rohingya Solidarity Organisation (RSO) and has a significant influence at Camp 15.
They claimed that members of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) killed Yasin over previous enmity with his brother.
