Gursewak, a part-time taxi driver, has faced an out-of-sessions court hearing where it was alleged that he placed the child in the boot of his car unconscious, before being left where his body was found on Thursday.

No evidence has been heard on how the little boy was rendered unconscious and an autopsy has failed to determine the cause of death. (Read: Cops hunting for car seen near body)

Gursewak lived in the same Lalor house, in northern Melbourne, as the boy and his parents and several others.

He was denied bail and remanded to custody over the long weekend and will appear in Melbourne Magistrates' Court tomorrow.
