The incident took place near the Balukhali refugee camp in Ukhiya Upazila on Monday, said Additional Superintendent of Police Md Afruzul Hoque.

The victim is 50-year-old Yusuf Jalal who was staying at block B-10 in the camp, Hoque told bdnews24.com.

Jalal was heading to a local mosque early on Monday when some men stabbed him with a knife from behind and fled the scene, he said quoting locals.

Locals rushed him to the Balukhali MSF Hospital where he died at 8am. 

His body was sent to Cox's Bazar Sadar Hospital for autopsy. 

Similar attacks killed a Rohingya man in the Kutupalong refugee camp in the same Upazila on Jan 13. Seven days later, another refugee was shot to death there.
