Police officer found dead Melbourne factory man in custody

A retired Special Operations police officer has been found dead inside an industrial factory at Braeside in Melbourne’s south-east.

Police discovered the former officer’s body shortly before 10am on Friday after a man, 45, handed himself in at the Mordialloc Police Station.

The 45-year-old man is being held in custody, but police have not confirmed if the death is being treated as suspicious.

Police believe the two men were known to each other.  The 41-year-old man found dead was reportedly a member of the Victoria Police’s elite Special Operations Group.

He reportedly held the rank of senior constable until he retired in 2010 after being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Homicide squad detectives remain at the scene.
