Demanding the arrest of journalist couple Sagar-Runi's killers, journalists yesterday declared fresh agitation programmes from October 7. Leaders of different journalists' organisations will hold a views-exchange meeting on October 7 and a memorial meeting on October 11 at Jatiya Press Club marking the passing of eight months since the couple's murder. If the killers are not arrested and brought to book by October 10, journalists will hold a rally on October 15 before the club to announce tougher movements. On Tuesday, Home Minister MK Alamgir assured that the motive behind the killing would be unveiled by October 10. Iqbal Sobhan Chowdhury, president of a faction of Federal Union of Journalists, made the announcement at a rally before the club. Sagar Sarowar, a news editor at Maasranga, and his wife Meherun Runi, a senior reporter of ATN Bangla, were found murdered in their West Raja Bazar residence on February 11.
