Rohingya man 'killed' in camp
A Rohingya man was allegedly killed inside Kutupalong camp in Ukhiya upazila of Cox's Bazar yesterday.
Md Hakim, 40, was beaten to death by another Rohingya refugee Md Rafique, 32, witnesses said.
They both arrived in the camp some five months ago, fleeing persecution in Rakhine state of Myanmar.
Police said an altercation took place on Thursday when Rafique enquired the identity of a woman, who came to see Hakim and his son at the camp.
The woman, who arrived from Bandarban, is the first wife of Hakim, police said quoting locals.
Following the altercation, Rafique beat Hakim with a hammer repeatedly killing him on spot. Later, he fled the area, police added.
He was arrested from the camp along with another suspect Shamsul Alam, a resident of the camp.
The body was sent to a local hospital for autopsy.
