A man accused of helping dispose of the body of missing Melbourne teenager Isla Bell has been granted bail with strict conditions. Eyal Yaffe, 57, is charged with assisting the alleged murderer, Marat Ganiev, who faces a murder charge. Isla Bell's remains were found in a waste facility last week, nearly seven weeks after she disappeared. Yaffe allegedly helped Ganiev cover up the crime, including moving a fridge containing her body. The court heard there is no direct evidence that Yaffe knew about the murder. Despite concerns about Yaffe's potential flight risk and past offenses, the court ruled that he does not pose a threat to the community. He must adhere to conditions including an overnight curfew, police reporting, and electronic monitoring while remaining in Greater Melbourne.
