Tests into Christchurch girl's death could take several weeks
Charlene Makaza died in hospital on
Sunday after she was found in bed unconscious the previous morning.
The initial post-mortem examination
indicated she was suffocated.
The police have subsequently ruled
out the possibility that there was an intruder in the house.
Detective Inspector Malcolm Johnston
says the police are continuing their inquiries with the girl's family and
examining the Ilam house.
