The marines, engaged for security of the Italian vessel Enrica Lexie, were arrested on February 19 on the charge of opening fire and killing fishermen Jalastine and Ajesh Binki who had ventured into the sea from Neendakara near Kollam in a fishing boat which had nine others on board.

The marines have been under custody since then, mostly in the Central Prison at Thiruvananthapuram before being moved to Borstal School at Kochi a few days ago.

In a respite for the two marines, the Kerala high court had on Wednesday granted them bail with stringent conditions but they were yet to come out of detention after fulfilling the conditions.
