Police in Christchurch have search a number of homes after an arrest over the death of Tyrone Munns.
The 39-year-old was found critically injured at a social housing complex on Innes Road in Mairehau, on 9 March. Despite efforts to save him, Munns died at the scene.
Last week, police arrested a 29-year-old man and charged him with Munn's murder.
Senior Sergeant Damon Wells said officers search several properties on Friday morning in Christchurch's Northcote and Pegasus as part of the investigation.
"Following the warrants today, police are now speaking with a number of people," Wells said.
"As this is an ongoing investigation and before the courts, police are unable to comment further at this stage.
"We want to assure the community that there is no risk the public."
