Actually there seems to have been a bit of a mountain made out of a molehill IMO. The law states that police can only hold people for 4 days of questioning after which they have to charge or release. However they can re-arrest if fresh evidence comes to light. This is still a possibility. If they cant charge someone after 4 days of questioning them then they probably don't have enough evidence to charge them (and will not get it from them). If released on bail because they don't have enough to charge yet and the 4 days expire, unless they get fresh evidence there probably will not be enough to charge the person. OTOH if other interviews or investigations produce furter evidence pointing to the (released) person they can then re-arrest!
