This was according to NPA spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila, who said that the suspect applied for bail on Monday, November 3, which the NPA opposed. However, the court granted bail.

Mr Ntabazalila could not confirm whether the suspect was out on bail, as this was dependent on whether bail was paid or not, and did not provide more information on the bail conditions at the time the article was published.
