Precautionary measure for a serviceman in a murder case

I read news that a serviceman, suspected of murdering an acquaintance after drinking alcohol together, was remanded in custody by the court without the right to bail. If the suspect claims he had no intention to kill and was in a state of severe alcohol intoxication, is there a chance that his pre-trial detention will be changed to a milder measure, such as house arrest? How does the court usually resolve such issues when it concerns a serviceman in a similar situation?
