A frail looking 78-year-old Blenheim resident made another brief court appearance this morning as his first degree murder charge continues to move through the court process.
Walter Ardis was charged when the body of 73-year-old Margaret Ardis was found following a fire in her Blenheim home March 24.

Defence Lawyer David Jacklin says he is still gathering information about the case and asked that it be put over to May 18.
