Police have arrested a man after a woman’s body was found in a home in Melbourne’s northeast on Monday morning.
A litany of Homicide Squad detectives are probing the scene of a house on Reid St in South Morang.
The woman, who is still yet to be formally identified, was found dead at the scene at about 10am.
A 33-year-old South Morang man has been interviewed by police in relation to the incident.
A large section of Reid St has been condoned off by police and more than half a dozen uniformed officers are standing by outside the house.
It is understood both parties were known to each other.
“The exact circumstances surrounding her death are yet to be determined and investigations remain ongoing,” a police spokeswoman said.
Homicide Squad detectives are believed to be speaking with bereaved members of the family at a park across the road from the scene.
