A woman accused of murdering her husband earlier this month has had a bid for bail refused.
Lucille Scollay, 44, is charged with killing Guy Scollay at a Christchurch house in the early hours of February 10.
She was arrested soon after an incident at the couple's Edgeware Rd home, and today made a second appearance from custody at Christchurch District Court.
Defence counsel Pip Hall asked for Scollay to be granted bail to her sister's home in Christchurch.
His client, he said, had the "presumption of innocence", and did not pose a flight risk as she had no passport.
