THE man charged with the stabbing murder of an apprentice chef did not apply for bail today.
Christopher Brilliantes, 21, was arrested yesterday and charged with the murder of Patrick Crowe.
The 22-year-old was allegedly stabbed during an altercation on Argyle St, Parramatta about 2am on Sunday and later died at Westmead Hospital.
Brilliantes, of Wentworthville, did not want to be brought up to the courtroom and did not apply for bail.
Magistrate Viney formally refused bail and remanded him into custody.
The matter was adjourned until September 13.
A co-accused, Judel Godoy, 18, was granted strict conditional bail after being charged with concealing a serious indictable offence.
The teenager, who is friends with the co-accused Brilliantes, must return to live at his family home in Auburn, where his stepfather, a corrections officer, has agreed to inform police if he does not meet his bail conditions.
These include reporting daily to police, not to go within 1km of Parramatta railway station unless to catch a train, not to associate with any co-accused in any way and he must abide by a residential curfew from 8pm to 6am.
Parramatta Local Court heard he had no participation in the alleged altercation and cooperated with police in an interview after his arrest.
A 15-year-old Toongabbie boy and 16-year-old Rosehill boy were also arrested and charged with affray.

Superintendent Robert Redfern said police were still looking for a teenage boy and three teenage girls who can help with on-going investigations.
Supt Redfern said there was "some interaction" with these teenagers in the lead up to the fatal stabbing about 2am last Sunday.
"The message to these people is that we will do all that we can to find you and bring you to justice so come forward, hand yourselves in to police, so that you can be spoken to," Supt Redfern said.
"There is no way we can bring back Patrick to his family but it's our hope in making some early arrests, it gives some comfort to his family in relation to the loss of their son," he said.
The male police are looking for is described as being in his late teens, of Pacific Islander appearance.
The girls are aged between 15 and 17, of Pacific Islander appearance and the other described as Caucasian.
