The Case Of · Isla Bell: Judge reveals new details into police investigation · 28 Jul 2026 podcast

Yeah, it did come in quickly.

I think we thought it would be a few months.

So where he landed was he sided with the prosecution.

And to sum it up, Justice Elliott said that the prosecution wasn't being unfair to Murat Ganev.

And the reason that was is the charges that related to Isla Bell's death initially, the murder, the manslaughter charges, they were obviously about...

the events that led up to Isla Bell's death and what apparently caused it.

The current charges, which are attempting to pervert the course of justice, are all about what happened after the death.

So any sort of arguments about double jeopardy and charging him with different offences over the same actions, the judge has said that wasn't the case.

These are charges that relate to separate sets of actions.

Of course, they're all part of the one bigger timeline.

What the prosecution has done is carved out a period of time that they have...

linked with this attempting to pervert the course of justice charge, if that makes sense.

Stocky, often quick decisions can mean bad news for the applicants in cases.

And in this particular example, Gagnev was the applicant because he was trying to have the case thrown out.

Sometimes also it could mean the judge just had a bit more spare time in their schedule than what they had anticipated.

So I think that may have been what happened here.

And one of the key findings that Justice Elliott made was

was that even if the defence had knocked out the manslaughter charges if this case had gone to a trial, that would not stop the prosecution from pursuing other charges.

And that's because those other charges relate to different conduct, because the manslaughter is all about the death and the attempting to pervert the course of justice is all about the alleged crime.

So what he said was, you know, a potential acquittal on manslaughter doesn't provide immunity for other possible crimes.
