Woman arrested after man found dead in Melbourne home

A mysterious murder investigation is underway at a Melbourne home after the second shooting at the same house since last year.

Victoria Police told Daily Mail Australia a man aged in his 30s was mysteriously found dead at the Mitcham home after homicide detectives were called to the property at about 3.30am Thursday.

It comes after a violent shooting took place at the same east Melbourne house, which has barbed wire across a number of the windows, on Cochrane Street in May 2016.

Manfred Ulrich Kobert was jailed for five years and six months in October for recklessly causing serious injury to his housemate’s lover, whose liver and right kidney were pierced with a bullet in May 2016.  

Police say they don’t believe the two shootings are related. 

A 46-year-old woman is currently in custody and police believe the woman and man were known to each other.

The woman is believed to be assisting police with their inquiries and police are treating the death as suspicious.

 Detective Senior Sargent David Yeoman (pictured) said it’s a ‘complicated scene’ at the house

‘There is a complicated scene inside the house and the circumstances are still very unclear as to what has actually occurred,’ Detective Senior Sargent David Yeoman told the Nine Network. 

Authorities believe the man had been dead for several hours before paramedics arrived at the scene, according to The Herald Sun. 

A neighbour told the publication police were often called to the property describing it as ‘very dodgy’.
