One of four men charged with first-degree murder in connection to the death of Steven Miller has been granted bail.

Kyle Morgan, 19, is the youngest of the quartet accused of killing Miller, 25, in Conception Bay South early on July 30. 

Bail conditions

Morgan was released on Thursday after putting up $10,000 in bail. Two others put up a total of $20,000 in the form of a surety for Morgan, meaning they could lose that money if Morgan breaches any of his bail conditions.

As part of those conditions, Morgan isn't allowed to have contact with the three other men accused of Miller's murder: Calvin Kenny, 25, Paul Connolly, 35, and Chesley Lucas, 23.

Morgan is also not allowed to have any device that allows him to connect with internet or other digital network.

Morgan also has to report to the RCMP in Clarenville on Mondays and Fridays. He has a curfew, must not drink or go into any place where alcohol is served, and must keep the peace and be of good behaviour. 

Morgan is back in court on Oct. 12 for a status update.

Kenny, Connolly, and Lucas are still in custody.

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary said Miller was violently abducted from his home in Seal Cove before it was set on fire during the early morning hours.

A while later, Miller's body was found in a driveway in the Bayview Heights neighbourhood of C.B.S.

Police haven't released the cause of Miller's death, but did confirm he was stabbed.
