A chilling case from the past has come to light, as police have finally charged a suspect with the murder of Melinda Freeman, a Whittlesea woman who was found dead in her home over 30 years ago. The 27-year-old was discovered in October 1991, with signs of assault and a ransacked house, leaving her infant son without a mother. The police have now brought a 63-year-old man to justice, but the story is far from over. The suspect, known to Ms. Freeman, was arrested at his Greensborough home and charged with murder. The case had been a long-standing mystery, with a $1 million reward offered for information in 2022. Despite initial anonymous tips and a significant investigation, the breakthrough came from a known connection, raising questions about the nature of the relationship between the victim and the suspect. The police's persistence and the public's support have finally led to a court appearance, bringing a sense of closure to a tragic chapter in the community's history.
