The man who was stabbed while out walking his dog in Christchurch last week has died in hospital.

He was attacked in Bexley Park early last Monday morning, and found shortly after 6 o'clock when his dog returned home without him.

An 18-year-old male and 23-year-old female have appeared in court on assault charges which police say are now being reviewed.
