Baby burnt alive
A one-year-old baby was burnt alive while his twin brother sustained serious burn injuries at Khulumbaria village in Sailkupa upazila on Saturday night. The fire originated from a kerosene lamp of a house owned by Yunus Ali, a day labourer, locals and fire fighters said. At that time, the twins were sleeping in a tin-shed house while their mother was cooking outside the house and their sister went to bring fuel wood from another house. Soon the fire spread fast and caught the nearby straw-made kitchen. The twins sustained serious burn injuries. After an hour, locals and fire fighters rescued the twins and sent them to Sailkupa Upazila Health Complex. But on the way, a twin succumbed to his injuries.
