In western Victoria, police have arrested a 49-year-old man from Minyip following a suspicious death investigation after a body was found in Jung. The discovery was made around 9 AM on Monday, although the deceased man, believed to be about 60 years old, has not yet been formally identified. The circumstances surrounding his death are under investigation, and it is described as suspicious by authorities.

The series of events leading to the arrest unfolded the previous evening when police received reports of a man exhibiting erratic behavior on Firebrace Street in Horsham. Upon arrival, officers found the individual armed with a knife, necessitating negotiation efforts that ultimately led to his arrest by 11 PM. He was subsequently taken to the hospital for evaluation.

As the investigation continues, police have focused on the area surrounding the scene of the body’s discovery, closing a portion of the highway to facilitate their inquiries. The authorities are expected to interview the arrested man as part of the homicide squad's ongoing investigation into both the death and the incident leading to the arrest.
