Two teenage boys will remain behind bars after being charged with the murder of Queanbeyan service station worker Zeeshan Akbar.

The boys, 15 and 16, have each been charged with murder, robbery, wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, aggravated entering of a dwelling with intent and aggravated car theft after they were arrested in the ACT on Friday morning and extradited to NSW on Saturday.

They did not apply for bail via video link and it was formally refused by the magistrate at the Parramatta Children's Court on Sunday ahead of their next court appearance in the same court on April 11.
