Police have arrested three people after a man was killed in Melbourne’s south-east last night.
Police were called to a rooming house in Wilson Street, Berwick, shortly before 10:00pm to investigate reports of an assault.
They found a woman with stab wounds and a man with injuries.
Both were treated at the scene, but the man died a short time later.
An Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman said the woman was taken to The Alfred hospital in a serious condition with upper body injuries.
Police arrested three people nearby and are now interviewing them.
Homicide squad detectives are at the scene and have cordoned off part of Wilson Street.
No charges have been laid.
A coroner’s van arrived about 7:00am to take away the man’s body.
Neighbours said the property used to be an aged care facility but became a rooming house several years ago.

Breaking; CBA forced to put aside $1 billion extra by bank regulator APRA
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority has slammed the Commonwealth Bank over events leading to allegations that it broke anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing laws on almost 54,000 occasions.
In its final report into governance, accountability and culture at the CBA, APRA said the bank’s “continued financial success dulled the senses of the institution”.
The report found the CBA had a “widespread sense of complacency, a reactive stance in dealing with risks, being insular and not learning from experience and mistakes.”
APRA also pointed to an “overly-collegial and collaborative working environment” which lessened the opportunity for constructive criticism.
Responding to APRA’s report, the CBA has acknowledged the regulator’s concerns and has offered an enforceable undertaking in response to the report.
Video shows stablehand allegedly doping Robert Smerdon-trained horse at Flemington
Incriminating footage capturing the moment racing stewards confront a stablehand allegedly doping a Robert Smerdon-trained horse at Flemington has been aired at a hearing into the Aquanita scandal.
Eight people connected to the powerful thoroughbred stables are facing 271 charges at a Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board hearing in Melbourne.
Racing Victoria lawyer Jeff Gleeson QC told the hearing trainers Robert Smerdon, Stuart Webb, Tony Vasil, Trent Pennuto and Liam Birchley, and stablehands Greg Nelligan, Denise Nelligan and Daniel Garland were involved in “knowing, brazen and systematic” doping between 2010 and 2017.
“It was … a habit of cheating,” he said.
The video footage — which the board declined to publicly release — shows stablehand Greg Nelligan in a box with the racehorse Lovani and a modified syringe plunger allegedly containing sodium bicarbonate paste concealed in a yellow plastic bag last October.
#AzerbaijanGP #F1 Ricciardo crash shows gutless Red Bull’s blunder. “Weak” response to Baku nightmare has dramatic consequences for the under pressure F1 team’s future.
ANOTHER Grand Prix, another dramatic twist in Daniel Ricciardo’s contract saga.
The Formula 1 world remains divided over which of Red Bull’s star drivers was responsible for the lap 40 disaster at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku.
Many commentators have pointed angry fingers at Max Verstappen for the collision between the two Red Bull cars.
Mercedes godfather Niki Lauda on Monday (AEDT) said Ricciardo’s smash into the back of his teammate’s RB14 was “70 per cent” Verstappen’s fault and 30 per cent the result of a careless Ricciardo fake and bake down the inside line into turn one on the Baku street circuit.
The real fault surely lies at the feet of Red Bull boss Christian Horner and the team’s top brass for its failure to control its young superstar.
The team has always declared publicly there is no No. 1 driver in the Red Bull garage, despite Verstappen’s early re-signing in October, 2017, until the end of 2020. The decision to lock up the Dutchman has left Ricciardo as the sport’s most in-demand free agent heading into 2019.
The team has also allowed both its star drivers to race wheel-to-wheel.
It is those two factors that created a perfect storm on the windy Baku streets to wipe out the team’s push for a double podium finish.
Red Bull’s clear favouritism of Verstappen resulted in the radio silence that greeted its two drivers as Ricciardo fought for more than 35 laps to squeeze past his teammate.
Verstappen got the early jump on Ricciardo on lap one, but the Aussie was back on the Dutchman’s date looking for a passing spot as early as lap five.
