The Dunedin doctor accused of murdering teenager Amber-Rose Rush has lost his bail appeal.
Venod Skantha, 30, is charged with murdering the 16-year-old, who was found dead in her Corstorphine home on February 2 this year.
Skantha - then a doctor at Dunedin Hospital - was charged days later and granted interim name suppression.
That lapsed in May after he pleaded not guilty to the charge, as well as a count of indecent assault and four of threatening to kill.
