In my opinion, respectfully, the ODPP failed to lay a legal basis for further incarceration of the TV girl. I say so for the following:

1. No factual basis/evidence was adduced to buttress the
factor of the suspect's likelihood to interfere with Police
investigations if released. In any event, the TV girl's house
has been under the control of the Police. The police have
collected samples/evidence from the said house for further
analysis (ballistic report). The question that begs answer(s)

Is whether the suspect is likely or capable to bring into halt
or interfere with the making of such reports /analysis to the
effect that its conclusion/recommendations will be adverse
or inimical to the prosecution's intended charges against
the suspect. No tangible evidence was adduced that the
suspect may or will influence /intermeddle /or interfere with
preparation of such report by the Police experts.

2. No factual basis/evidence was adduced to demonstrate
that suspect is a flight risk or there is a likelihood that she
may abscond an impending plea, if any.

3. No factual basis/evidence was adduced to demonstrate the
suspect may interfere with likely witnesses or co-suspects
in the matter.

Respectfully, the Court appeared to have been swayed by extraneous matters which ought not to have premised its decision to grant the ODPP leave to detain the suspect for a further 10 days.

The Court should not appear to be a conduit facilitating Police investigations. The Court MUST and should always be neutral UMPIRE whose fidelity remains to the Constitution and germane Statutory enactments attendant to a matter before.
