Search war-rants in the homicide investigation of New Brunswick businessman Richard Oland say police believe he was murdered.

Heavily censored portions of five search warrants and related documents in the Oland case were released Thursday after the CBC and New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal asked the provincial court in Saint John to make them public.

The Crown had argued that all of the search warrants and related documents should remain sealed because they contained evidence that only the person or persons responsible for Oland's death would know.

The documents repeatedly say investigators believe that on July 6, 2011, a person or persons "did commit murder."

Oland, 69, was found dead in his downtown Saint John office.
