Detectives from the Missing Persons Squad have located what are believed to be human remains as part of their investigation into the suspicious disappearance of Brunswick woman Isla Bell.
With the assistance of Merri-bek Crime Investigation Unit detectives and Major Crime Scene Unit personnel, the yet-to-be formally identified remains were located in Dandenong on Tuesday evening.
19-year-old Isla was last seen leaving her home address about 6pm on 4 October.
Yesterday, detectives from the Missing Persons Squad arrested three men after executing search warrants at two properties in Bentleigh East and Mulgrave.
A 53-year-old St Kilda man has been since been charged with murder, while a 57-year-old Hampton man has been charged with assist offender (murder).
A 63-year-old Mulgrave man was released pending further enquiries.
The Missing Persons Squad formally took over the investigation in late October.
Isla's family have been notified and police will ensure a number of support services are in place.
