Homicide Squad detectives yesterday charged a man with murder following a fatal stabbing in Prahran last weekend.
A 35-year-old Lidcombe man was arrested at Melbourne Airport on Monday, April 21.
Police interviewed him and later charged him with affray and assault related offences and one count of murder.
He was remanded in custody to face Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on September 4.
The charges follow an incident outside a licensed venue on Chapel Street, Prahran on Sunday, April 20.
Police were told a group of male offenders had assaulted a 30-year-old man, then chased him further down the street.
The Mickleham man sustained multiple stab wounds outside another nearby licensed premises.
He was treated by emergency services at the scene but died while being transported to hospital.
It’s believed the parties involved were known to each other.
An investigation remains ongoing.
