A man allegedly killed by his neighbor shared a noise complaint on Facebook about half an hour before he was fatally stabbed.
Emergency services were called to a property in Edgeware at 2.47 a.m. Sunday, Father’s Day, after an incident at the intersection of Gresford and Champion streets.
Police found a man seriously injured. He was taken to Christchurch Hospital, where he later died.
The 44-year-old victim took to Facebook after 2 a.m. Sunday to say he was upset with the way a security company handled a noise complaint he made. She said the security company worker did not stop when they passed her house, but instead turned at the intersection and drove away.

Stuff understands that the police are investigating the relevance of a noise complaint in the apartments where the incident occurred.
A 31-year-old bartender, accused of murdering the 44-year-old man, appeared before Judge Tony Couch in Christchurch District Court on Monday.
Court paperwork says the victim was stabbed. Stuff understands that the two men, whose names have been suppressed, were neighbors.
The defendant did not present guilty pleas and was placed in preventive detention until his next appearance on September 25.

Five nearby residents he spoke to Stuff before all said they did not hear any dispute during the night.
Inside the cordon, on the way, there was a towel with what appeared to be blood.
Some residents said police had previously been called to an apartment block at the corner of Gresford and Champion streets, which were within the cordon.
On Monday, the scene was still cordoned off and a tent remained in the middle of the intersection. A mobile police base was stationed nearby.
