did not see anything both in the accused’s statement and in the police
investigations to show that the accused killed his wife and quashed the
remand application brought by the police.

responsible sureties in like sum, who must be blood relations and also
work with reputable organisations.
She directed that the case file should be duplicated and a copy
forwarded to the State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPPs) for legal
advice.

the accused committed the offences on Oct. 10 about 10.25 p.m. at No.
