Two more people have been charged in relation to the death of an 18-year-old man whose naked body was dumped in front of Sunshine Hospital.

Homicide Squad detectives on Thursday charged 20 year-old Keilor Downs man with one count of murder over the death of Hieu Nguyen.

Mr Nguyen was found dead on a nature strip outside Sunshine Hospital about 5.30am on May 11, with a stab wound in the chest.

The Keilor Downs man faced an out of sessions court hearing on Friday morning.

He was remanded in custody and will appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

Three other people, 28-years-old Tarneit resident Crystal Portelli, a 29-year-old Keilor Downs man and a 25-year-old Taylors Lakes man have now been charged with accessory to murder.

Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the alleged murder.
