A man has been arrested in relation to the death of another man in Melbourne’s northeast. The body of a man, who has not yet been formally identified, was found in an apartment on Davidson St in Bellfield, near Ivanhoe, about 11.30am on Wednesday. A 54-year-old man of no fixed address was arrested nearby and is expected to be interviewed. “The exact circumstances surrounding his death are yet to be determined and investigations remain ongoing,” Victoria Police said.
7NEWS understands a knife or possibly a hammer was used in the man’s death. Residents say they heard a commotion near the property 12 hours before the body was found. A woman was heard crying and police were called, one neighbour told 7NEWS. “There was a police car out there last night,” she said. Police have not confirmed if that incident is linked to the discovery of the man’s body. Detectives were seen taking photos of a pair of black boots, as well as speaking with neighbours.
