Have no fear, say police, neighbourhood
safe
The police in Christchurch say the
circumstances surrounding the death of a young girl remain a mystery.
10-year old Charlene Makaza died in hospital
yesterday, almost a day after her family found her unconscious in her bed.
An initial post mortem indicates she
was suffocated but the police are waiting on the results of a second post
mortem which they hope will shed more light on how she died.
They have ruled out the possibility
an intruder might have been involved after a thorough examination of her Ilam home today.
