A man accused of a fatal assault at Tennant Creek has been remanded in custody.
Charles Reginald Alum, 41, appeared in court on Tuesday, after being charged with committing a violent act causing death in the outback town, about 500 kilometres north of Alice Springs.
Detectives said the incident occurred following a dispute involving a number of people on February 6.
Three days later, a 44-year-old man was transported to the Royal Adelaide Hospital, but died one week later.
A report will be prepared for the Northern Territory Coroner.
Mr Alum's case was adjourned until May 3.
