It is not thought that the woman who was fatally stabbed in an apartment block in Melbourne over night is connected to the 12-year-old girl who was taken into custody.
A 37-year-old woman was discovered dead at an apartment block above the former Royal Hotel on Barkly Street in Footscray at around two in the morning. This led to the girl’s arrest. Police were summoned to the site by neighbours.
After being brought to the hospital under police guard, the girl was later freed to be questioned by homicide detectives.
