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?
I read news that the prosecution disagrees with the pre-trial detention measure for the female police officer who was driving during a fatal road accident in Pryluky, and plans to file an appeal.

And what is usually taken into account when considering such appeals against pre-trial detention for police officers?
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?
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.
