The Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 221 has ordered the release of Sajid Islam Ampatuan, son of former Maguindanao governor Andal Ampatuan Sr., and one of the accused in the Maguindanao massacre case after posting 200,000.00 pesos for each of the 58 counts of murder via Travellers Insurance and Surety Corporation that totals to 11.6 Million pesos bail.
The lower court, through Presiding Judge Jocelyn Solis-Reyes, issued the release order on Monday (March 9, 2015) after finding the bond in order.
“The same is hereby approved and he is allowed to be on temporary liberty upon the same bonds,” the court order released stated.
The court granted petition for bail after “the prosecution panel failed to establish strong evidence that would warrant the continued detention of Sajid Islam while the trial is ongoing.”
