The 63-year-old man was arrested at his home on Lucknow St and is expected to be charged with one count of murder.

Vicoria Police had offered a $1 million reward for information which helped them convict Ms Warrick’s killer.

The 63-year-old man arrested today is expected to appear in Bairnsdale Magistrates’ Court today.
