A teenager charged over the murder of a man at the Canberra Hospital last month has also been charged with resisting police's attempts to collect forensic material from his hands.
Aleu Mapiou, 18, is accused of killing Dusko Culibrk, 38, during what police described as "an altercation" in the hospital's Adult Mental Health Unit.
Mr Mapiou was connected to the ACT Magistrates Court today by telephone but a corrections officer told the court he had asked to make it clear he would say nothing.
