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 detained without probable cause and requested a reasonable bail. The judge rejected this, citing Chopra as a potential flight risk due to the $12,666 found during his arrest. Testimony from police indicated a high-speed chase ensued after a traffic stop attempt. Dashcam footage showed the suspect's vehicle crashing into another car, resulting in hospitalization. The defense argued there was no evidence linking Chopra to the murders, but the judge maintained the denial of bail.
