Ramazan Acar entering court last night with police after being charged with murder.
A MAN charged with killing his two-year-old daughter has been ordered to undergo psychiatric assessment.
Ramazan Acar, 24, faced the Melbourne Magistrates Court this morning over the murder of his daughter Yazmina, who was found dead in grassland in Melbourne's north yesterday.
His case was adjourned until March 3 next year. He made no application for bail.
The court ordered Mr Acar to be assessed by a psychiatric nurse before his next hearing.
In an out-of-sessions hearing last night, a court heard Mr Acar allegedly threatened to kill his daughter several times after he picked her up from his ex-partner.
Toddler Yazmina was allegedly driven across Melbourne by Mr Acar before being dumped in Greenvale.
Mr Acar was charged with the toddler's murder last night.
Sen-Det Constable Scott Jones, of the homicide squad, told an out-of-sessions hearing Mr Acar arrived at his former partner's address in Hallam, in far southeast Melbourne, at 6.10pm on Wednesday and a short time later took Yazmina with him.

Police will allege Yazmina's mother made several calls to Mr Acar, who threatened to kill the girl as he drove across Melbourne to Campbellfield.
"Ultimately the accused has attended an address in the Campbellfield area where he removed the child from the car and a number of stab wounds resulted in the child's death," Sen-Det Jones told the hearing.
"Mr Acar has then allegedly driven from where he dumped his daughter to another address where he burns the car and flees the scene in a second car."
Sen-Det Jones told the hearing a post-mortem examination found that Yazmina died of multiple stab wounds.
During the short hearing at Melbourne Custody Centre last night, Mr Acar told the bail justice he did not have a medical condition and any injuries had been attended to.
Sources told the Herald Sun Mr Acar had allegedly been under surveillance at some point after Yazmina was taken from the house.
Homicide squad detectives were last night trying to solve the tragic riddle of what happened in the period after Yazmina was taken, which happened 55km from where her body was found.
They were led to grassland beside a fence near the Greenvale Reservoir at 1.35am where they made the awful discovery.
Mr Acar, from Meadow Heights, was arrested two hours later at Epping by heavily armed officers from the special operations group.
He remained in custody last night with a 23-year-old woman who had allegedly also been travelling in the car.
It is believed he was being tailed by police when the Toyota was set alight in Merri Concourse, Campbellfield, at 10.30pm on Wednesday.
Firefighters called to the scene were told someone might be inside the burning vehicle.
Police cordoned off the area and searched a section of grassland surrounding the charred vehicle, returning with an object in an evidence bag.
They would not confirm if it was a weapon.
Sen-Det Sgt David Snare, of the homicide squad, said it was a tragic set of events.
"It's difficult circumstances for everyone involved - a young child just starting life off and doesn't have the opportunity to grow into an adult, that is horrendous," he said.
