Two people have been charged in relation to a fatal stabbing in Christchurch on Friday.

On 22 December, police were called to the car park of Wycola Park in Hei Hei, where a man in his late 20s was found dead with stab wounds.

Police have now charged a 31-year-old woman with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

She is due to appear in Christchurch District Court on 26 December.

On Friday, a 36-year-old was charged with assault.

A youth has also been referred to Youth Aid.

Police said they were not ruling out further charges.
