Overview
- A Greensborough man was arrested at his home, interviewed by detectives, charged with murder, and is due in Melbourne Magistrates' Court today.
- Victoria Police say they will allege the accused was known to Melinda Freeman.
- Freeman, 27, was found fatally assaulted at her Whittlesea home, which appeared ransacked in what investigators had previously considered a staged burglary.
