Police have arrested a 22-year-old man following the discovery of a woman’s body in Melbourne’s CBD.

The 31-year-old Chinese woman was found by friends on Boxing Day after emergency services were called to Latrobe Street just after 8.30pm.

Paramedics found her dead at the scene; a subsequent post-mortem determined her cause of death was suspicious.

Victoria Police have since arrested Huntingdakle man Xiaozheng Lin, who is believed to have been known to the woman.
