A 35-year-old man from Lidcombe in Sydney’s west was previously arrested at Melbourne Airport last week.

He was charged with affray and assault related offences before he was later charged with murder on Thursday. He is set to front Melbourne Magistrates Court on September 4.

It’s believed the two men were known to each other.

Detective Acting Inspector Chris Ellway earlier said Mr Carlson was known to police, and that he didn’t believe it was a random alleged attack.

Mr Carlson had six children with his fiancee, Monique, who revealed he’d said “I love you” in his final text to her.

His fiancee also described him as “the most beautiful soul on earth” and a “loving, caring, gentle” father.

Detectives have urged any witnesses or anyone with information to come forward, with the investigation ongoing.
