Police have charged a second man with the murder of Christchurch teen Connor Whitehead.
It comes after a major multi-day manhunt resulted in an arrest of a suspect at a residential address in Avonside on Tuesday night.
"Police have now charged a 43-year-old man with murder in relation to the death of Connor Whitehead," Detective Senior Sergeant Nicola Reeves says in a statement.
"He will appear in the Christchurch District Court tomorrow."
A 32-year-old man has also been charged with Connor's murder, and three charged with accessory after the fact to murder.
Earlier on Tuesday, Connor's family said they were "heartbroken" at their loss.
Connor's father James Whitehead, who spoke on behalf of mother Cheryl Merrin and their family, said he was "loved by everyone".
"Right now we want to remember and celebrate Connor for the amazing son, brother and friend he was," he said.
"Connor was an incredible brother to William, Cordelia and Emma and a special son to myself and Cheryl. We were and continue to be so proud of him."
Connor had dreams, he said; he loved music and planned to go to university and study law.
"We are devastated that we will not see him live his life and reach his potential," James said.
"Right now we want to focus on Connor as we organise his funeral and celebration of his life. We ask for privacy as we mourn our precious boy."
