A man of no fixed address has been charged with murder after a pharmacist was found dead in a home in Melbourne‘s north-east yesterday morning.
Police say a friend found his body in his townhouse on Davidson Street in Bellfield, near Ivanhoe, about 11.30am, after concerns were raised when he didn’t show up for work.
The pharmacist, who had purchased the home at the beginning of the year, was allegedly found with multiple stab wounds.
A 54-year-old man, who is not believed to be known to the victim, was this afternoon arrested a few hundred metres away and was interviewed in relation to the incident.
He was charged overnight with murder and has been remanded to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court later today.
It’s alleged he was found with blood-stained clothing and was in possession of a weapon.
