Convicted killers Molly and Thomas Martens have been granted release on bail, following a court hearing in the United States.

The pair were convicted of the killing of Irishman Jason Corbett at the home he shared with Molly Martens in August of 2015. Their murder conviction was recently overturned and they were granted a retrial.

It recently emerged that the killer pair were offered a plea deal for voluntary manslaughter. If they accept such a plea instead of a retrial, they would be sentenced to five years and seven months in jail, but since they have already spent the best part of four years behind bars, they could be free by 2023.

In any case, they have now been released from jail on a bond of $200,000.
