Two people have been charged with murder following the death of a man in Hornby last month.

Jared Little died at an address on Skerten Avenue on October 20.

Emergency services were called to a house at around 7.45pm on the night in question after a report of an assault at the property.

A 25 year old woman and a 22 year old man are in custody and due to appear in Christchurch District Court next Monday.

Detective Inspector Michael Ford says Police are not seeking anyone else in relation to this but the investigation is ongoing.

They're still keen to hear from anyone with information that could assist them.
