Arrests Made Following Discovery of Man’s Body in Yarra River

Two Arrested as Investigation into Melbourne Tragedy Continues

Detectives from the Missing Persons Squad have arrested two males in connection with the death of a 22-year-old Clyde North man, whose body was found in Melbourne’s Yarra River on October 1. An 18-year-old from Collingwood and a 16-year-old from Melton South were taken into custody and interviewed but later released pending further inquiries. A machete was seized from one of the properties.

The incident began when the victim left a licensed venue on Flinders Street around 1 a.m. on September 30. Following an altercation with a group of males, he was punched and chased, with one assailant wielding a machete. In an attempt to escape, the man jumped into the Yarra River, but tragically drowned after trying to climb onto a jetty.
