Police are appealing for more information over a three-month-old baby who was admitted to Christchurch Hospital on New Year's Eve with serious injuries.
"We are appealing to anyone who may have information as to how the baby sustained the injuries to come forward and speak to us," Detective Inspector Michael Ford said in a statement.
The scene examination of a property in Cuffs Road in the Christchurch suburb of Wainoni is continuing.
"Any incident like this involving such a young and vulnerable child is extremely concerning and unsettling for the community, and we thank them for their support and cooperation as we work to determine what has occurred," Det Insp Ford said.
An investigation was launched on Saturday after the baby was admitted to hospital.
A neighbour told Stuff a couple and a baby about “a couple months old” lived in the property.
The family “keep to themselves” but were a “nice couple”, she told Stuff.
