A housewife was burnt to death by her husband for dowry at Jajisar village under Kasba upazila in Brahmanbaria on Thursday night.
The victim was identified as Amena Khatun, 32, wife of Harun Mia.
Harun, on Thursday, was beating Amena, as she did not fulfill his demand of dowry. At one stage, he poured kerosene on her body and set fire to her.
Hearing the screaming of Amena, neighbours rushed to the spot and rescued and sent her to hospital, but she succumbed to her injuries on the way to hospital.
Police arrested Amena's sister-in-law while her husband Harun has been absconding since the incident.
