In the heartbreaking case of the murders of Savanah Soto and her boyfriend Matthew Guerra, recent court developments saw a reduction in bond for two suspects accused of concealing the victims' bodies. Ramon Preciado, the father of co-defendant Christopher Ray Preciado, had his bond lowered during yesterday's hearing. According to FOX San Antonio, the judge reduced the bond on the higher charge to $350,000 but denied the request to lower bail for the other charge, setting Preciado's total bond at $450,000.
Ramon Preciado, 53, faces charges of Altering/Destruction/Concealing a Human Corpse, and Abuse of a Corpse, for aiding his son in moving Soto and Guerra's bodies after their murders, the latter having been scheduled for an induced labor the following day her family reported her missing. In the event that Ramon posts bond, he will face strict conditions including no contact with the victims' families, GPS monitoring, the surrendering of his passport, weekly in-person reporting, and routine drug and alcohol screening, as per MSN.
Meanwhile, Myrta Romanos, another suspect in the concealment, saw reductions in her bond for two of her three charges. Romanos's bond for Tampering with Evidence was lowered from $500,000 to $200,000, and her bond for the Alter/Destroy/Conceal human Corpse charge was reduced from $500,000 to $300,000, as reported by FOX San Antonio. However, the 186th District Court did not approve the reduction for her third charge, Abuse of a Corpse. Awaiting her April pre-hearing in Bexar County Jail, Romanos's bonds now total $600,000.
