1. Mystery over woman’s death at buck’s party, found fully-clothed in shower in Melbourne hotel room.
Four men have been released from police custody without charge after a woman’s body was discovered in their Melbourne CBD serviced apartment over the weekend.
The woman, who is yet to be identified, was discovered in the shower by one of the men at approximately 8am on Sunday morning. According to Nine News, the men immediately called paramedics for help, but the woman was later pronounced dead.
Homicide investigators say the woman is believed to be Caucasian, in her 20s, and was wearing a black top, denim shorts and white sneakers.
Police have been running forensic tests and an autopsy was done overnight to find out what happened to, and identify, the woman found in the Oaks on Market serviced apartment.
It’s understood the four men, all aged in their late 20s and early 30s, were part of a larger group of 11 men who had travelled from the ACT and NSW to celebrate a buck’s party.
According to Nine News, the group had begun their celebrations on Saturday night by attending a football match before later moving on to King Street’s infamous nightclub, Inflation, where two partygoers were shot by police last week.
The group of men was seen leaving the serviced apartments on Sunday, with one of the men telling The Australian they had been “stitched up.”
What the man meant by the comment is not known.
