Report in Sagar-Runi murder case deferred again

Staff Correspondent: A Dhaka court has again deferred the report submission date in journalist couple Sagor Sarowar and Meherun Runi killing case.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Khurshid Alam fixed August 23 as the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) failed to submit the report before it on Tuesday (July 11).

Eight people including slain reporter Runi's so-called friend Tanveer Rahman had been accused in the case.

The other accused in the case are Enam Ahmed alias Humayun Kabir, security guard of the couple's house,  Rafiqul Islam, Bakul Mia, Mitu alias Bargira Mintu alias Masum Mintu, Kamrul Hasan Arun, Palash Rudra Paul and Abu Sayeed.

Though all the accused were placed on remand more than once, none of them yet gave confessional statement to the incident.

Sagar Sarowar, news editor of private TV station Maasranga, and his wife Meherun Runi, senior reporter of another channel ATN Bangla, had been killed at their rented flat in the capital's West Rajabazar on February 11 in 2012.
