Christchurch police say a resident of the Santa Maria rest home will be charged with the murder of a 93-year-old woman who died at the home earlier this month.
Alicia Doreen Grant was killed in the early hours of September 4th.
Police have refused to release any details about her death.
A person who lived at the rest home with her will be charged with murder at a special District Court sitting tomorrow.
Police had been waiting for medical assessments and legal advice before deciding whether to lay a charge.
