A woman has been arrested and charged in relation to the death of Canterbury man Richard Leman whose body was found in a car in April.

Leman's dismembered body was found in Rangiora about a week after he went missing, sparking a homicide investigation.

A 38-year-old woman has been charged with accessory after the fact to murder.

She was due to appear in the Nelson District Court on Thursday.

A 46-year-old man was charged with Leman's murder earlier this month.
