Police Charge Man After 1991 Death Of Melinda Freeman

Detectives from the Homicide Squad have today charged a man as part of their investigation into the 1991 death of Melinda Freeman in Whittlesea.

A 63-year-old Greensborough man was arrested in Greensborough this morning and subsequently interviewed by police.

He has been charged with murder and will face Melbourne Magistrates' Court today.

Police will allege the parties are known to each other.

Today's arrest follows an incident on 4 October, 1991 where Melinda was located dead about 11.30pm inside her Yea Road home in Whittlesea.

The 27-year-old had been fatally assaulted.

Over the past three decades, police and Melinda's family have made a number of public appeals for information in relation to her death.

In February 2022, police announced a $1M reward in relation to the case.
