The Dunedin health professional accused of murdering a 16-year-old girl will fight to keep his identity under wraps. However, defence counsel Marie Taylor-Cyphers indicated at the end of the hearing that she would appeal the decision. Amber-Rose was found dead by family members at her Corstorphine home the day after her alleged murder. The murder accused was remanded in custody and will be back in court for a hearing on March 27. His counsel was given until 5pm on Thursday to file an appeal against the name suppression ruling with the Court of Appeal.
