Suspect accused of murder after discovery of deceased pharmacist in Melbourne residence.
Yesterday morning, a tragic incident occurred in Melbourne's north-east where a pharmacist was found dead in his home. The man, who did not have a permanent residence, has been charged with murder in relation to this case. It is reported that a friend discovered the body in the man's townhouse on Davidson Street in Bellfield. Concerns were raised when the pharmacist did not show up for work, prompting the friend to visit his residence and make the shocking discovery.

According to the police, the victim had recently purchased the home earlier this year. He was found with multiple stab wounds, indicating a violent and brutal attack. The suspect, a 54-year-old man who is not believed to have known the victim, was arrested a few hundred meters away from the crime scene. He was questioned about the incident and has since been charged with murder. The man will appear in court later today after being remanded overnight.

Reports state that when the suspect was apprehended, he was in possession of blood-stained clothing and a weapon, which are believed to be connected to the crime. Neighbors in the area have also shared their accounts of the events leading up to the discovery of the victim's body. One resident, Susan Cotchin, recalls hearing screams from a woman around 11:30 pm the night before. She couldn't make out what was being said but described the sound as shrill and lasting for about 10 minutes. Another neighbor mentioned seeing a police car in the area, but it wasn't until the next morning that they learned of the tragic news.

Upon receiving the call, the police had gone to the address but were unable to access the property or determine where the complaint had come from. After monitoring the area, they left, unaware of the horrific events that had taken place inside the townhouse. The homicide squad is now leading the investigation, and forensic detectives are combing through the crime scene for any evidence that may help solve this case. Our hearts go out to the loved ones of the victim, and we hope that justice will be served for this senseless act of violence.
