A SYDNEY neurosurgeon remains in custody after being charged with the murder of one woman and the manslaughter of another.



Police have said post-mortem examination results indicate both women died of cocaine toxicity.



In Central Local Court today, Mitchell Cavanagh, lawyer for Suresh Surendranath Nair, said the neurosurgeon was in custody.



Mr Cavanagh said he had spoken to Dr Nair this morning and he would not be appearing in the court in person or via videolink in relation to the two new charges.



The 41-year-old is charged with murdering Suellen Domingues-Zaupa, 22, on November 19 last year at his Elizabeth Bay apartment, in Sydney's east.



Dr Nair also is charged with causing the death of Victoria McIntyre, 23, in circumstances amounting to manslaughter - by an unlawful and dangerous act - on February 15 last year at Elizabeth Bay.

The neurosurgeon is already in custody on a charge of supplying a prohibited drug in relation to the November incident.



He was originally granted bail, but it was revoked after he allegedly breached its conditions, requiring him not to engage in the services of female escorts or consume illegal drugs.



Mr Cavanagh made no application for bail on the new matters and magistrate Kevin Flack adjourned the case to the same court on March 1.
