Isla Bell: Court hears bid to throw out case

The Case Of

The man originally charged with Isla Bell's murder has made an application to have the only remaining charge against him thrown out permanently. Marat Ganiev was charged with Isla's murder after the 19-year-old's body was found at a tip in Melbourne's east in 2024. That charge was then downgraded to manslaughter, and later replaced with attempting to pervert the course of justice. Kristian Silva returns to the pod to explain why Marat Ganiev's barrister is now applying for a permanent stay on the remaining charge. Listen to our previous episode explaining how Isla’s alleged murder case collapsed. If you have any questions you’d like Kristian and Stocky to answer in future episodes, please email thecaseof@abc.net.au . The Case Of is the follow-up to the hit podcast Mushroom Case Daily, and all episodes of that show will remain available in the back catalogue of The Case Of.
