Liability of a relative suspected of murder

I read the news about a tragedy in Los Angeles where police suspect the couple's son of murder. I'm curious: if a similar situation happened here, can law enforcement detain a family member as a suspect based solely on suspicion, or must there be compelling evidence? And how quickly should the court decide on a preventive measure for such a person?

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?

Preventive measure without the right to bail for a suspect

I read that in Lviv, a man suspected of murdering a serviceman was ordered by the court to be held in custody for 60 days without the right to bail, although his lawyer requested house arrest, pointing out that he has a permanent residence and cares for his grandmother. Please explain in which cases a court can deny the right to post bail to change the preventive measure, and what grounds are considered for this?
