A MAN charged who police alleged was involved as an accessory to the murder of Andrew Russell made a failed bid for bail today.

Kieran Moore, was before magistrate Bruce Williams in Bathurst Local Court for a committal hearing, where it was determined that a properly instructed jury would not find him guilty of Mr Russell's murder.

However, Mr Williams said it was his view that a properly instructed jury would find him guilty of assisting with the disposal of a body in the knowledge that Tony Simmons had killed Andrew Russell.

Moore was then charged with being an accessory after the fact of murder, to which he entered a plea of not guilty.

Both Moore, and co-accused Tony Simmons, who was yesterday committed to stand trial for Mr Russell's murder, will appear before the Sydney Supreme Court on May 2, 2104.
