I get a more sensible reply that way.

well it is much practised procedure, perhaps not lawful, but a procedure

 

For a 3rd World Country, yes, it is.

It's to do with evidence and the chances of getting a conviction if he pleaded not guilty. With apparently no evidence against him for the attack and no testimony from the woman, no prosecutor would indict him.

Isn’t a confession evidence? It could be recanted, but surely it’s gives grounds for an investigation? As has been said by others, a murder victim does not give testimony either.

 

I hear what you say, but I stand by my statement that the reason for releasing this man is not credible. There may be a lot of other stuff going on  which has not been reported, but by itself, just not credible.
