Two more people have been charged as part of the investigation into a man’s death in Kurunjang last year.
A 21-year-old man of no fixed place of address and a 17-year-old boy from the Melton area were arrested on Monday, February 3, and interviewed by police.
Both have subsequently been charged with murder.
The 21-year-old man appeared at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, February 4 and the boy will appear at a children’s court at a later date.
The charges follow an incident in Kurunjang on Friday, December 20, in which a man was fatally injured after an alleged brawl between a group of people in McBurnie Drive.
An 18-year-old Kurunjang man was treated at the scene but died a short time later.
A 22-year-old Harkness man and a 15-year-old Harkness boy were both previously charged with murder in relation to the incident.
Police allege the incident was targeted and the people involved were known to each other. The investigation remains ongoing.
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
