A R Rakhal
This is not a mere crime. Investigation should be done without further delay. Hope the killer will be identified as well as punished so that no one can dare to commit such murder. Faqrul, USA
Political statements on this gruesome and tragic incident have no value. The government should extend all kinds of help and assistance to the law enforcing agencies to find out the killers. Najnin Khanam
Find out the killers and bring them to justice as soon as possible. Rushi jahan
I am extremely shocked. Salam
This news is so saddening. The government should take steps to make it mandatory for all apartment buildings to install CCTV at the main entrances in order to prevent recurrence of such gruesome murders. Mahabub Sikder
Awami League is heading towards its biggest election defeat in history. Bangladesh is a lawless country. This state is slowly becoming dysfunctional. Sheikh Monirul Islam, Opee
When journalists are murdered so brutally, it reflects that something has gone wrong terribly with our society. Someone out there ought to be threatening our democracy, freedom of speech, and human rights. It is terribly disturbing and we are terrified. Anonymous
We are shocked, and feeling hopeless and helpless. The government has no control over crime. Mohammad Habibur Rahman
It's very tragic. Think about the son who is only five-year-old. How can the state console the boy? During this Awami League government's tenure, law and order situation has always been bad but now it is out of control. Incidents like these are very natural because criminals and murderers go scot-free because of their partisan identity. Tasnin Mahmood
We want justice. Tazul, Azman, UAE
No words to express what I feel. It's only possible in Bangladesh where a convicted murderer also gets pardon from the president. Farida
I am shocked and speechless. At the same time, I am worried about my family, who will give them security? Ashif
Shame on our political leaders. The ruling party and the opposition are blaming each other. It's very unfortunate that innocent people are dying and political leaders are reacting like this. M. Shafiqul Alam
A very tragic end of a young couple. Let there be a thorough and speedy inquiry. Dr. Farzina
I am thinking about the future of the innocent child Megh who is now really a lonely cloud. Md. Abir Hossain
Mysterious incident. This proves once again how much helpless we are. I don't know whom to blame. The couple's consciousness about society and politics ultimately led them to death. Jumana Sarwar
The roaring home minister, who reminds the nation that law and order is better than anytime in the past, will again blame the opposition of being part of the conspiracy to stop the war crimes trial. Dr Islam
Is it an attempt to stop the voice of the media? We need to find out the real reason. Iftekhar Hassan
This is an abhorrent crime. We do not know the killer nor have any clues. Good forensic experts can get some finger prints. It may be robbery or some kind of settling personal score. I do not see any political motive. Very sad indeed!
