Two more men have been charged after the stabbing death of a father of six near a Melbourne nightclub on April 20.

Mickleham man Ruka Carlson, 30, died from multiple stab wounds after he was allegedly chased, kicked and knifed on Chapel Street in Prahran in the early hours of April 20.

Last month a 35-year-old man from Sydney was charged with murder, affray and assault related offences, and a 20-year-old Kurunjang man was charged with murder.
Carlson was treated by paramedics on Chapel Street for multiple stab wounds, but died on the way to hospital. (Nine)

A 22-year-old Roxburgh Park man and a 21-year-old man from Campbellfield were arrested and interviewed by police today.

This afternoon they were both charged with a string of offences relating to Carlson’s death, as well as unrelated matters.

Both men were charged with offences including affray, intentionally causing injury, attempted robbery and failing to provide a pin code.

Police will allege they also located a quantity of drugs, ammunition, stolen goods and fireworks during a warrant at a Campbellfield property.

The Campbellfield man has also been charged with a range of drug and weapons offences, as well as committing an indictable offence on bail.

Melbourne man Ruka Carlson, 30, was chased several blocks before being cornered outside Electric Nightclub in Prahran where he was knifed and kicked multiple times around 1.30am.

It’s believed the parties involved in the incident were known to each other.
