I’m not certain, but I don’t think you can be on remand awaiting trial for more than 6 months. If he was arrested back in August last year 6 months is up.

Partly correct. It is 6 months limit but he's only been on remand for 4. Could have easily been kept on remand until at least his next hearing at the end of the month.
The reason I asked was, if I remember rightly, he was charged with extra offences a couple of months ago so could he have been kept on remand for an extra six months on those?
