Question juridique clé
Whether the detention from 2014-09-16 to 2014-10-27 was unlawful under Art. 431 StPO
Solution extraite
Yes. The renewal of detention lacked a valid basis because it relied on unusable witness statements and incorrect assumptions about the DNA evidence.
Motifs extraits
The first-instance court based strong suspicion and collusion risk on evidence that was not admissible; therefore the conditions for extending detention were not met from the outset.
