In a tragic incident in Melbourne, Australia, a pregnant woman was discovered deceased along with a man whose head was found severed on a spike. The unsettling find occurred around 10pm yesterday in the Mount Waverley area, where the 39-year-old woman and 50-year-old man resided together.
Law enforcement responded to the scene following a call and located the bodies. Subsequently, a 34-year-old man accompanied by two large dogs was apprehended at Westall train station in Clayton South at 1:40am today. The individual was observed with bloodstains on his shirt and was barefoot at the time of arrest.
This incident follows a recent occurrence where a man passed away and nine others were hospitalized due to a food recall issue.
Reports indicate that the deceased woman was five months pregnant. The residence where the bodies were discovered exhibited graffiti messages such as “Karma is not a menu” and slogans related to veganism like “meat is murder.” Other phrases, including “betrayal, unpredictable, inevitable,” were also visible.
Authorities have noted the graffiti on the property and stated that Homicide Squad detectives will investigate its relevance to the murder case.
At the crime scene, forensic officers in protective gear were seen conducting investigations, while a woman believed to be the victim’s mother crossed police barricades. Detective Inspector Dean Thomas from the Melbourne homicide squad mentioned that the arrested man had connections to the deceased individuals.
According to Detective Inspector Thomas, the suspect is likely transient and targeted the victims intentionally. Police responded to the residence following reports of disturbances and found the deceased individuals shortly after arrival.
Authorities urge anyone with relevant information or footage to come forward. Families of the deceased have been informed, and as of now, no charges have been filed in relation to the incident.
