A 25-year-old Sudanese man was stabbed in the very early hours of Tuesday morning.
The man was stabbed in the neck, the prosecutor said, and died from his injuries.
Police have launched an investigation into murder.
The reasons for the attack and the nationality of the attacker remain unknown, however fights are not uncommon in the campsite, which is is home to around 4,500 migrants.
A migrant was killed overnight on Tuesday after being stabbed in Calais camp, north France, according to local reports.
A man lost his life after being hit in his neck during a knife attack overnight, Jean-Pierre Valensi, Boulogne-sur-Mer prosecutor was quoted as saying by local media.
A probe for murder was opened, he added.
The new victim in Calais "jungle", referring to the migrants camp in the northern French port city, was a 25-year-old Sudanese man who was among the thousands of migrants hoping to reach Britain to have a better life.

"A 25-year-old Sudanese refugee was stabbed in the neck early Tuesday morning and died at the refugee camp in Calais, France, the Local reported. The killing was the latest incident of violence at the infamous camp.
French authorities are investigating the nationality and motives of the attacker, and prosecutors have not yet announced any leads."
No leads announced. I'm suggesting coc aine induced violence. That would fit.

Ok that being said why should it be all over the news? All life is precious I agree, but people are killed all over for ridiculous reasons and its not reported...
Thats like wanting every single death over a drug deal gone bad to be reported, and then crying foul when its not...
Trying to understand exactly where your disdain comes from

. . . police officers told him “there was nothing they could do” after a handgun was waved at him on his third visit to the Calais area . . .
French police are struggling to control criminal activity in the camp, with reports of people-trafficking, drug-dealing and criminal gangs.
"There are pregnant women, mothers and babies living in appalling, dangerous conditions in Calais without access to the maternity care they urgently need,”
“There are smugglers and there are gangs. The women are not safe. There are reports of forced prostitution, sexual extortion, attacks,” she told me. “The women don’t want to come forward because they are terrified. And we can’t take them away.”

I think the point being made is, it does not fit the media AGENDA.
Obviously people die everyday, all over the place, humans are dumb.
But the media has an agenda, which influences the masses world over. This particular death going unnoticed, shows, it does not fit said agenda.

I would expect more coverage because conditions in the camp are of great concern to many people.
