The judge yesterday informed the media of the court’s decision that although the man is suspected of having killed the woman, he will not be remanded in custody.

According to a press release from the police, the prosecution appealed this decision, calling for a pre-trial detention to ensure that the suspect will not interfere with witnesses.
