A man accused of attempted murder following a stabbing in Oamaru will remain behind bars for at least a couple of weeks.
The 28-year-old appeared in the Timaru District Court today by video link from the Dunedin police station and was granted interim name suppression by Judge Joanna Maze.
The defendant faces a count of attempted murder and one of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm – charges which each carry a maximum penalty of 14 years' imprisonment.
