Eight men arrested over two Vic murders - Ninemsn

Eight men have been arrested in connection with two unrelated deaths in Victoria over the weekend.

Police arrested and charged six Horsham men with murder on Sunday after a 25-year-old man died following his bashing on a street in Victoria's north-west on Friday.

Shane Willshire, 24, Gavin Willshire, 27, Shane Campbell, 38, Matt Lovett, 21, Christian Pickering, 25, and Ryan Jones, 20, have been charged with one count of murder.

Emergency crews found the 25-year-old man suffering life-threatening injuries on Shirley Street in Horsham at 10pm (AEDT). He was raced to hospital where he later died.

Two men are also being questioned over the death of a man on a street in inner-Melbourne on Saturday afternoon.

Paramedics found the man's body when they were called to an address in Canning Street, North Melbourne, about 5.40pm on Saturday.

Police said the 31-year-old North Melbourne man suffered life-threatening injuries and was declared dead at the scene, but would not reveal how he received the injuries.

Police arrested a 39-year-old man in Fawkner, in Melbourne's north, around 2am Sunday, and a 24-year-old was arrested in Daylesford.

And police are still hunting the attackers of a third man, 41, who was found by his father with substantial injuries at a house in Endeavour Hills in Melbourne's southeast about 10.30am on Saturday.

He was assaulted by an unknown offender who was possibly armed, police said.

Homicide squad Detective Inspector John Potter said the man had been in custody with police the day before regarding a domestic dispute with his wife, but at this stage she wasn't a suspect.
