A woman accused of murdering a former Whanganui man and burying him in the backyard of his north Christchurch home has appeared in court yesterday morning. Rena Joyce aka Maloney, 55, a kitchen hand, is charged with murdering Martin Orme Berry on December 29.

At the High Court in Christchurch yesterday, Maloney made a brief appearance from custody. Justice Cameron Mander remanded her in custody without plea until February 19. The family have said they are "devastated"by Berry's death.
