Dhaka, June 3 -- The family of slain journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Nahar Runi has expressed deep frustration over the lack of visible progress in the long-running investigation into their murder.

Their son Mahir Sarowar Megh and plaintiff Nowsher Roman expressed their concerns after a meeting with Attorney General Ruhul Quddus Kazal and their lawyer Shishir Manir at the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

Roman later said, "The absence of updated information on the investigation is fuelling rumours, which has further deepened the family's mental distress."

The prosecution says that, with the passage of time, many members of the law-enforcing agencies and officials who had visited the crime scene can no longer be traced.
