A 42-year-old woman is dead and a 15-year-old boy is in hospital under police guard after a suspected family violence incident in Narre Warren South.
Homicide Squad detectives are now piecing together what led to an alleged stabbing incident inside a house on Springvalley Way, near the Narre Warren South P-12 College.
Emergency services were called to the scene at about 1pm on Monday 30 November following reports that multiple people had been seriously injured.
A 42-year-old woman, a 70-year-old woman, a three-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy were all found injured.
Tragically, the middle-aged woman, who was flown to The Alfred hospital in a critical condition with upper body injuries, died.
The elderly woman and the young child were both transported to hospital with serious upper body injuries, an Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said.
A police statement later confirmed a 15-year-old boy was arrested at the scene. He remains under police guard in hospital, after having also sustained serious injuries.
