However, the High Court stated that the reasons were not compelling enough to remand the accused in custody. The judge also ruled that considering the accused had flown into the country without any form of disguise, he had no reason not to comply with the country’s jurisdiction. Therefore the High Court granted the accused bail on the following conditions:
- A sum of $300 is paid.
- The accused surrenders his passport and all his travelling documents
- He reports to the police station twice a week, both on Monday and Friday between 6am and 8pm
- The accused does not interfere with the case.
