Prosecutors had until midday Saturday to file their request for his continued detention, but decided to make their move earlier, apparently convinced that they had a strong case. They now have until October 10 to gather further evidence to bring formal charges against him.The court also ordered a psychiatric examination of the suspect, whom press reports have described as unstable with violent tendencies.
