Sagar Sarwar And Mehrun Runi, Journalist Couple, Killed In Bangladesh
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Two television journalists in Bangladesh were found stabbed to death Saturday in their home in the capital of Dhaka, police said. The motive of the killings is unknown.
Police officer Imam Hossain said authorities are investigating the killings early Saturday of Sagar Sarwar and his wife, Mehrun Runi. Sarwar was news editor of private TV station Massranga and Runi worked as a reporter at another private television, ATN Bangla. Both were in their late 30s.
It was unclear if their deaths were related to their work, Hossain says.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has offered condolences to the family and ordered police to find the killers.
Sawar's colleagues said he worked late in the night Friday before leaving for home, where he lived with his wife and their 5-year-old son.
Relatives went to the house after the child called his grandmother, who lives in the neighborhood, saying his parents were lying in a pool of blood in their bedroom.
Police said Sarwar was found with his hands tied from behind. No valuables were missing from the house, investigators said.

Phone Hacking/Bribery Scandal Timeline
March 2002: Days after the disappearance of 13-year old Milly Dowler, British tabloid News of the World began intercepting Dowler's voicemail messages.
-
April 2002
Police first became aware that the paper was listening to Dowler's messages after it reported that an employment agency had called Dowler about a job vacancy, but didn't take action "partly because their main focus was to find the missing schoolgirl and partly because this was only one example of tabloid misbehaviour," according to <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/jul/04/milly-dowler-voicemail-hacked-news-of-world" target="_hplink">the Guardian</a>.

November 2005
A News of the World item about his knee injury lead Prince William to believe that his aides' voicemail messages were being listened to by a third party. Three royal aides also noticed that new voicemails were showing up as old. Months later, the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/05/magazine/05hacking-t.html?pagewanted=1" target="_hplink">New York Times reported</a>, News of the World editor Clive Goodman wrote a piece about Prince Harry's visit to a strip club that quoted a voice mail message from his brother William word-for-word.
-
January 2007
Goodman (right) and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire (left) received jail time for intercepting hundreds of voicemail messages meant for royal aides. The pair accessed the voice mailboxes of three aides 609 times, according to <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6301243.stm" target="_hplink">BBC News</a>. An earlier search of Mulcaire's home turned up "dozens of notebooks and two computers containing 2,978 complete or partial mobile phone numbers and 91 PIN codes; at least three names of other News of the World journalists; and 30 tape recordings made by Mulcaire," reports the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/05/magazine/05hacking-t.html?pagewanted=all" target="_hplink">Times</a>, but the pair were only charged for hacking the royal aides.

<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/jul/08/murdoch-newspapers-phone-hacking " target="_hplink">New allegations from the Guardian</a> that NoW paid £1m to suppress evidence of phone hacking prompted Parliament to hold new hearings two years after News International exec Les Hinton (bottom left next to Murdoch) first testified that Goodman was the only person at NoW who knew about the hacking. At the new hearing, Coulson (top left) maintained that he was unaware of phone hacking during his time at NoW.

September 2010
A <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/05/magazine/05hacking-t.html?pagewanted=1" target="_hplink">New York Times</a> piece alleged that phone hacking was pervasive at NoW and Coulson was aware of conversations about the practice, despite denying any knowledge about it. According to the Times: "'Everyone knew,' one longtime reporter said. 'The office cat knew,'" and reporters "described a frantic, sometimes degrading atmosphere in which some reporters openly pursued hacking or other improper tactics to satisfy demanding editors."

January 2011
Coulson stepped down as communications chief, <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jan/21/andy-coulson-resignation-statement?INTCMP=SRCH" target="_hplink">blaming media speculation</a> that he knew about phone hacking during his tenure of NoW. News editor Ian Edmondson was fired after allegations of phone hacking, and new information prompted police to re-open the investigation on NoW.

The News of the World admitted its role in phone hacking in a <a href="http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/notw/public/nol_public_news/1266448/News-International-statement-News-of-the-World-says-sorry.html" target="_hplink">public apology</a> on its website and paper. Former editor Edmondson and reporters <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/apr/14/phone-hacking-james-weatherup " target="_hplink">James Weatherup</a> and Neville Thurlbeck were arrested on charges of intercepting voicemail messages.

News of the World paid Sienna Miller £100,000 in damages after publishing 11 articles that used private information from her messages in 2005 and 2006, according to the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jun/07/phone-hacking-news-of-the-world-sienna-miller">Guardian</a>.

Clive Goodman, a former News of the World reporter, has alleged that there was a massive coverup of phone hacking at the tabloid.
