There are teens. They're charged with a murder. The murder is of Melbourne boys. The teens refused to attend court.

Why did they get the option to not attend?

I’m guessing they could still be charged with contempt for not showing up. It sounds like their legal counsel told them not to go to court because the court wanted to take their dna. They will probably be fighting that first.
