A Christchurch woman has been charged with murder after a stabbing in Christchurch on Christmas Day.
Hardeep Singh, who was 26, was stabbed on Sunday afternoon at a property in the suburb of Cashmere. He died yesterday.
Following Mr Singh's death, the police upgraded the object of their inquiries from serious assault to homicide.
A 22-year-old woman was arrested on the day of the stabbing and charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
She appeared in Christchurch District Court this morning, where the original charge was upgraded to a charge of murder.
She was granted interim name suppression and remanded in custody until next month.
A post-mortem was conducted on Mr Singh today.
