A man, who has been charged with kidnapping, appeared in court this morning following the disappearance of Christchurch woman Yanfei Bao.<\/p>\n
Bao, who works for Harcourts Wigram, was last seen on Wednesday morning, door-knocking in the Wigram area.<\/p>\n
Police said the investigation was not a homicide inquiry but they were concerned for Bao’s safety.<\/p>\n
The man appeared in Christchurch District Court this morning and where he was granted name suppression and remanded in custody for three weeks.<\/p>\n
Police said they were seeking name suppression and remand in custody because there was an ongoing investigation involving the defendant.<\/p>\n
The man was assisted by an interpreter throughout his appearance.<\/p>\n
He appeared calm in court and nodded when the charge was read to him by the interpreter.<\/p>\n
Police earlier this morning said the man was arrested at the airport.<\/p>\n
