    Bail was refused because the accused had demonstrably breached earlier bail conditions by threatening a prosecution witness shortly after release, the current charge is of a serious nature (exposing him to up to ten years' imprisonment) and is treated as non‑bailable in entitlement terms; public interest and the need to protect witnesses outweigh unsubstantiated personal health and family care arguments.
