1 min read

A thirty year old male, of Christchurch, has been charged with the murder of Susan Gayle Sutherland on Saturday 16 April this year.

He will appear in the Christchurch District Court tomorrow.

Detective Senior Sergeant David Harvey says that the inquiry would like to acknowledge the support it has received from the public, in particular the street workers in the Manchester Street area, and Honda owners in Canterbury.

"The arrest is the result of a meticulous and time consuming inquiry for the investigators, including staff from Invercargill, Dunedin, Oamaru, Timaru, Ashburton and Christchurch," he says. "I'd like to acknowledge the dedication and hours put in by all staff."
