Homicide Squad detectives have charged a 42-year-old Glenroy man with murder after the death of a Shepparton North man last month.
The Glenroy man was taken into custody by Fugitive Squad detectives at a hotel on King St in the Melbourne CBD at about 12.30pm on Wednesday, June 4.
He was charged with one count of murder later that day and will appear before Melbourne Magistrates’ Court.
The charge comes after a man’s body was found in a Bindi St property in the Melbourne suburb of Glenroy at about 3pm on Sunday, 25 May.
The 67-year-old Shepparton North man had been fatally assaulted.
Police allege an altercation took place at the address earlier that morning, and the parties involved were known to each other.
Detectives from the Homicide Squad and Fugitive Squad conducted a significant search for 10 days to locate the Glenroy man.
