Judge denies bail for Alton triple murder suspect, dashcam footage of arrest shown during hearing
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A judge has denied bail for Gaurav Chopra, the suspect in the triple murder of his parents and grandmother in Alton. During a bond hearing, his attorneys claimed he was being held without probable cause and requested a reasonable bail. The judge ruled against this, citing Chopra as a potential flight risk due to the $12,666 found during his arrest. Dashcam footage showed a high-speed chase involving Chopra's vehicle, which crashed after hitting a power line. The defense argued there was no evidence linking him to the murders, but the judge maintained the denial of bail. An appeal is possible.
