A man has been charged with murder tonight after being arrested at Melbourne Airport on Friday, before boarding an international flight.
The 67-year-old was charged after a body, believed to be that of a missing woman, was discovered earlier today in Little River.

A 53-year-old woman from Dandenong is the subject of concern after she unexpectedly lost contact with her family, prompting them to report her missing on Thursday. The local police swiftly initiated an investigation, considering her sudden disappearance under suspicious circumstances.
