A Lalor man has been charged with murdering his Dandenong partner.
Police arrested Murat Davsanoglu, 42, after emergency services found a woman dead in a home on Edgars Road, Lalor, shortly before 1am on Tuesday 18 July.
This followed a Victoria Police plea for help from the public on Sunday 16 July to find Mr Davsanoglu and his partner Ozlem Karakoc.
They were last seen in Wilma Avenue, Dandenong, on Friday 14 July.
Police said Ms Karakoc’s family was concerned for her welfare because of a health condition that required medication.
They believed she was with Mr Davsanoglu and said he also suffered from a medical condition.
Mr Davsanoglu faced Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 19 July charged with murder.
He was remanded in custody to reappear on 29 November.
