A Dunedin doctor accused of killing a teenage girl has failed to get bail - on the fourth attempt. In a minute issued yesterday, Justice Gerald Nation confirmed the defendant had been declined electronically monitored bail again following a hearing on March 20. Skantha has been denied bail by the High Court and the Court of Appeal three times in the past. While the result was released, Justice Nation did not provide a full judgement. Skantha was a doctor at Dunedin Hospital when he was charged with Amber-Rose's murder.
