Overview
- Prosecutors withdrew the murder and manslaughter counts Tuesday, shifting the case toward alleged attempts to pervert the course of justice.
- The Office of Public Prosecutions said there was insufficient evidence to support homicide charges, with forensic experts unable to determine Bell's cause of death.
- All charges against co-accused Eyal Yaffe were discontinued Tuesday, and he left court a free man.
- A fresh indictment and a summary of allegations are expected to be served on the defence within about two weeks, and the trial set for this month has been vacated with no new date.
- Outside court, Bell's mother expressed disappointment and spoke about the ongoing grief the family faces.
