Police have charged a woman with the murder of a three-year-old girl who was found with fatal injuries at a house in Marton.
Cherish Tahuri-Wright was found with head injuries at the home of her grandparents on 17 February.
She died two days later in Wellington Hospital when she was taken off life support.
Police say a 56-year-old woman is due to appear in Wanganui District Court on Tuesday. Officers have told the child's parents about the murder charge.
An initial investigation team of 20 has now been scaled down to two officers, who will oversee the remaining inquiries and prosecution.
