HOMICIDE Squad detectives have charged a Doveton man following the death of a 31-year-old mother of four in Noble Park overnight.
Her body was found at a residence in Marna Court, following a call for police and paramedics about 2am.
“The call was that a woman had been hurt at this location,” Homicide Squad Detective Senior Sergeant Stephen McIntyre told the Journal.
“Simultaneously to that phone call being made, a man who we believe is the man who made the phone call attended at the Dandenong Police Station and surrendered himself to police.”
Bona Lual, 36, faced an out of sessions court hearing at Dandenong Police Station charged with one count of murder.
He was remanded and will face Melbourne Magistrates’ Court tomorrow (Wednesday).
Investigators believe Lual and the deceased were at a party at a hall in Dandenong North earlier in the night and are keen to speak to anyone who might have seen the pair.
Marna Court was this morning filled with the haunting sounds of wailing women in mourning as news of the death reached the woman’s family and friends.
Det Sen Sgt McIntyre said the woman’s children were aged between two and 12 years.
“It’s hard to know what to do to make people that are that upset at ease,” he said of the women gathering in the home’s front yard, crying out and comforting each other.
“There’s no words that are going to make it better.”
Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.
