Two people have been arrested in relation to a homicide in Christchurch.
A man and a woman, both aged 24, have been charged in relation to the death of local man Kane Alan Wayman, 46.
Police have not confirmed the exact charges, but the pair are due to appear at Christchurch District Court today.
It was revealed last night armed police had raided a South Island gang headquarters in connection with the death.
Investigators were searching the Mongols MC property near Burnham on State Highway 1 south of Christchurch in connection with the homicide investigation.
Late yesterday morning, a number of officers were seen outside Christchurch Hospital's emergency department on Riccarton Ave.
They were overseeing a white Mercedes car with no licence plates.
Members of the public walked past the car as a tow truck winched the vehicle and took it away.
Police confirmed Wayman had been dropped at the hospital with critical injuries and later died.
"This is a tragic event and our thoughts are with Mr Wayman's family," police said today.
"The investigation is continuing to determine if any other people are involved.
Scene examinations were still underway, police said, and would continue in the coming days.
Authorities urged anyone yet to come forward with information that could help with their investigation to do so immediately.
