Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe only the first three were charged with first degree murder. Andrea G was charged with concealing human remains and the last I found was from February 2015 when her bail hearing was delayed again. So far no bail? George H was charged with indecently interfering with human remains and accessory to murder after the fact. Dennis O was charged with second degree murder.
Out of the roughly 500 - 600 people charged with homicide (which includes murder, manslaughter and infanticide), I guess we're averaging around 1%. I imagine the percentage receiving bail for 1st degree is less than that.

Well here is a quick collection of recent cases where the charge was first degree murder and bail was granted. In two cases, the accused's own children were killed; in the others there are co-accused.
