Overview

• Eyal Yaffe, 57, is accused of helping Marat Ganiev, 53, conceal the body of 19-year-old Isla Bell after her alleged murder on October 7 in St Kilda East, Melbourne.
• Yaffe allegedly moved a fridge containing Bell's remains across multiple locations in Melbourne's southeast before it was discovered at a Dandenong tip three weeks later.
• The court imposed stringent bail conditions, including a $20,000 surety, surrendering his passport, a curfew, and wearing an electronic monitoring device to restrict his movements.
• Prosecutors opposed bail, citing Yaffe's prior criminal history and a booked flight to Bulgaria, but the magistrate ruled he was not an unacceptable risk to the community.
• Yaffe will reside with his son and is prohibited from contacting witnesses or going near specific locations related to the case as it progresses toward trial in 2025.
