    A woman allegedly murdered at her Christchurch home can be named as Frances Anne Phelps


    She was found dead at her home in the hillside suburb of Mount Pleasant earlier this month.

    A man, who has interim name suppression, was arrested and accused of killing Phelps three days before she was found.

    He's due to appear in the High Court in Christchurch in December.
