The ex-convict who was allegedly seen impersonating a medical student on Wellington Hospital grounds has been remanded in custody.
Pita Phillip Edwards, 26, appeared in the Wellington District Court today facing 20 charges including being on the hospital grounds without an excuse and entering buildings including the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) and the Otago School of Medicine Wellington with intent to commit a crime.
He was also charged with illegal use of taxi chits, credit cards and a bank cheque.
Edwards will reappear next week.
Another defendant, Stacy Howard, was accused of being with Edwards when he entered the DIA. Howard was also remanded in custody and will reappear next month.
