A man has been arrested following a major manhunt sparked by a death and serious assault at a home in Melbourne’s north.
Emergency services were called to a residence on Willoughby Street at around 8:20 am on Wednesday following reports of an “assault with a sharp weapon.”
A large-scale search was launched after a 29-year-old man died and a 65-year-old woman was seriously injured at a Reservoir property on Wednesday morning.
Police then issued an alert to find Mr Sanderson, who was initially believed to be in the house but later confirmed not to be inside.
Shaun Sanderson, 32, was arrested at Preston about 2:40 pm on Wednesday.
He will now be interviewed by police.
The Homicide Squad is investigating the death and assault.
It’s unclear exactly what happened, however police believe all three people knew each other.
