Two men are facing charges over the alleged murders of two people and the attempted murder of a third in a spate of separate incidents across Melbourne.
On Friday, a 26-year-old Cranbourne man and a 25-year-old Narre Warren man were charged with murder following a shooting in Derrimut, in Melbourne’s west, last Thursday.
A 20-year-old man took himself to hospital after being shot but died as a result of his injuries shortly after.
The 26-year-old has also been charged with attempted murder following a stabbing on the same day in Wyndham Vale, in the city’s south-west.
Two days earlier, the pair were allegedly involved in another shooting in Ivanhoe, in Melbourne’s north-east, where a 27-year-old man’s body was found in the front yard of a home.
The Cranbourne man had previously been charged with murder in relation to that shooting, while the Narre Warren man was charged with being an accessory to murder.
The pair were arrested on Sunday following a police pursuit and questioned over the incidents, as well as an attempted carjacking in South Yarra.
They have both been remanded in custody and will appear before the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court at a later date.
Victoria Police said the investigation remains ongoing and is calling on anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.
