A man who was wanted for a fatal assault in Melbourne CBD has been arrested after almost three weeks.
Police officials have taken into custody Todd Menegaldo, who was wanted in connection with a violent attack that resulted in the death of another man in Melbourne's CBD earlier this month. The victim, 44-year-old Andrew Truman from Seddon, suffered severe head injuries during the attack while he was walking on Elizabeth Street from Flinders Street at around 6:30pm on October 9. After three weeks of searching, authorities were finally able to locate Menegaldo, who had no fixed address, in a boarding house in Moonee Ponds.

The 33-year-old suspect will now be questioned by detectives as part of the ongoing investigation into Truman's death. Police believe the attack may have been targeted, and are urging anyone with information to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers. This tragic incident has left Truman's loved ones devastated, as he was a much-loved member of the community. He had an intellectual disability, but that did not stop him from living life to the fullest and being a popular footballer.

Truman's family and friends fondly remember him as a vibrant, independent, and courageous man who was never afraid to be himself. He was also a fierce supporter of the LGBTQIAP+ community and took pride in being a gay man. His brother shared with 9News that Truman's passing has left a void in their lives, but they will always cherish the memories they have of him. As the investigation continues, the community is urged to come together and provide any information that can help bring justice for Truman and his loved ones.

The tragic death of Andrew Truman serves as a reminder of the violence that can occur in our society, and the importance of standing up against it. Teachers in Australia have recently been subjected to rape threats and slurs in the classroom, highlighting the need for a safer and more respectful environment for all. Let us all work towards creating a society where everyone can feel safe and accepted for who they are.
