ALDEN WILLIAMS/STUFF Worried resident Ashleigh Newth talks to Stuff about the weekend's death at a Christchurch social housing complex. A man accused of murdering a tenant at a social housing unit had hours earlier been granted police bail for allegedly stealing a car. It was not until after the fatal stabbing that police were informed of accusations that he had also strangled and used a weapon to seriously injure the man at the time he took the car. Kenneth Daniel Hawkins died at his Christchurch home on April 24. A 28-year-old man has been charged with his murder. Joseph Johnson/Stuff
