The most serious crimes (Murder) are normally treated as a serious threat to the public and kept on remand till trial.
Repeat offenders are quite often given bail as well. It's not uncommon for people to rack up 4 or 5 bails for separate offences before they get remanded for trial.

I might be a bit cynical but for someone where there is enough evidence for him to be tried for murder, he's known to have access to firearms, has threatened the mother-in-law of his (alleged) victim and has attempted suicide then I'd reckon letting him walk the streets isn't the best idea.
