Journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi did not commit suicide, they were murdered. Two people participated in the murder. 

However, the killers could not be identified due to unclear DNA. 

The task force’s investigation report said this. The task force formed to investigate the murder by the High Court order submitted its report to the court recently.

Examining the shawl used to tie Sagar’s hands and the T-shirt worn by Runi, DNA experts reached the conclusion that two anonymous men were involved in the gruesome double murders, said the report. 

Sagar -- news editor at private TV channel Maasranga -- and Runi -- a senior reporter at ATN Bangla -- were killed on February 11, 2012 at their residential flat in city’s Rajabazar area.
