Murder suspect Kevin Dahlgren to remain behind bars

The Regional Court in Brno has extended an order for quadruple murder suspect Kevin Dahlgren to remain behind bars, upholding an earlier ruling by the Brno Municipal Court. Dahlgren’s appeal to be released on bail was refused on the grounds that he might try to flee the country. The 23-year-old suspect fled from the Czech Republic in 2013 shortly before the bodies of four of his relatives were found in their home in Brno-Ivančice. He was extradited to the Czech Republic by the US late last year and now awaits trial. If convicted he could get a life sentence.
