A 46-year-old man has been charged with murder after a Christchurch man was found dead in his home at the weekend.
The man was arrested today and is due to appear in the Christchurch District Court tomorrow morning.
On Sunday, police received a report about 2:50pm that 57-year-old Michael Joseph Graham required medical assistance at an England St, Linwood, property.
"Emergency services attended, however, Mr Graham was sadly declared deceased at the scene," Detective Senior Sergeant Sarah Illingworth said.
"Enquiries have established he was involved in an assault at the address."
Det Snr Sgt Illingworth said earlier today a homicide inquiry had been launched, and police wanted to speak to Nathan Te Hana as part of the ongoing investigation.
Te Hana (46) was believed to be in the Christchurch area.
Police said this afternoon that he had been found, and the investigation into Graham's death was ongoing.
