Blackmoore, who was aged 21 at the time, was 10 weeks pregnant when she was stabbed 39 times in her home in the suburb of Wainoni.

A 47-year-old man who was charged with murder on Tuesday has interim name suppression following a hearing in the High Court at Christchurch this morning.

A bail hearing will be held for the man next Thursday.

Meanwhile name suppression is also continuing for a woman in her 40s, also charged with the murder last October.

She was charged alongside Jeremy Powell, 45, who pleaded guilty in February.
