Police found the man's body when they were called to Stuart Flats in Griffith about 4.30pm on Monday.
Scott Jamie Cole, 40, was charged with murder and briefly faced the ACT Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
He entered no plea and did not apply for bail.
Prosecutors described the accused as "extremely violent and dangerous", and opposed a move by Mr Cole's defence to have him placed in the Canberra Hospital's mental health unit because there was a risk he may escape.
No details of the alleged murder were aired in court.
But Fairfax Media understands Mr Cole is alleged to have inflicted stab wounds on a neighbour on Monday afternoon.
On Tuesday, the court heard there were concerns about Mr Cole's mental state.
His defence lawyer asked the court to consider making an order that he be sent to hospital for immediate assessments and treatment.
But prosecutors urged the court not take that course, saying the hospital may not be able to hold Mr Cole.
He was remanded to the Alexander Maconochie Centre and marked a prisoner at risk.
The case will be back in court later this month.
