Blackmoore was 10 weeks pregnant when she was stabbed 39 times in her home in the east Christchurch suburb of Wainoni.

A man and a woman in their 40s were charged with murder in October.

The man has since pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing.

Yesterday police arrested a third person and charged him with murder.

In the Queenstown District Court this afternoon he was granted interim name suppression and remanded in custody till Friday.
