In this country, don't just allow yourself to be killed... Cos Justice may never come and if it does, it's always too late to be alive.

Hmmm!

This matter get k-leg.

Freeing them suggests that it has been confirmed that they are not the cause of the guy's death. So, what or who killed the guy?

they only freed 12 meaning 13 are still in custody. Maybe after thorough investigations, they discovered the 12 don't have their hands involved while the remaining 13 would chop undone beans 🤔

Incomplete information. Were they acquitted or just granted bail?? "Court frees them" is an ambiguous choice of language.
