Chief Magistrate James Eremye Mawanda Tuesday granted them bail on condition that four of them each pay ten million shillings in cash to regain their freedom .
While the other suspect; a one Caroline Alinda has been released on a non cash bond of the said money, because she could not raise the money yet she is a pregnant woman, which would be unfair to keep her in jail given her delicate condition .
