A 43-year-old man has been charged with murder following the death of a 58-year-old man in Morwell, in Victoria’s Gippsland region.
Emergency services were called to a property on Langford Street shortly before 4pm on Sunday after receiving reports that a man had been found dead with significant injuries.
Victoria Police established a crime scene at the property and confirmed that the deceased was a 58-year-old Morwell resident.
Investigators later arrested a 43-year-old man in nearby Traralgon. Homicide Squad detectives subsequently charged him with one count of murder.
Police believe the accused and the deceased knew each other. No further details about the circumstances surrounding the death have been released.
The charged man was expected to appear before the Latrobe Valley Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.
The murder charge remains an allegation and has not yet been proven in court.
