A 37-year-old man will appear in Christchurch District Court tomorrow charged with murder.
He is known by police.
Canterbury District Commander Superintendent John Price says scene examinations will continue for as long as it takes.
He says the scenes and background are deeply important, as well as working alongside the family.
