Please attribute to Detective Inspector Darryl Sweeney, Canterbury CIB:

Canterbury Police have arrested a 54-year-old man for murder and aggravated burglary after a 27-year-old woman was found dead in her Exeter Street, Merivale home around 11:40am yesterday morning.

Police moved swiftly to locate the man, who will appear in Christchurch District Court on Monday 9 April.

My deepest sympathies go out to the family of this young woman, and Police will be ensuring that they are supported following their tragic loss.
