Spot on @Jaina.

And it helped that he surrendered to the police. Also this is not the first time bail has been granted to a Capital offence suspect under our new Constitution.

there are several ways to look at this
- the constitution does not declare what is bailable or not. the laws and regulations sourced from it do.
- who says the guy is guilty? if he is guilty he should be in prison. there is no need to keep someone in cells just because.

He is guilty, but extenuating circumstances will reduce it to man slaughter and I'm sure the police and magistrate are aware of the facts.
