Three found stabbed at Dandenong North home
Police say the three victims were known to one another as detectives investigate a possible family violence link and urge witnesses to come forward.
On Friday at 11:30 a.m., three people were stabbed outside a residence on Woodlee Street in Dandenong near Dandenong North Primary School, prompting an emergency response.
Acting Inspector Rebecca Hall said the school was briefly locked down as emergency services responded, preventing students inside from witnessing the incident and ensuring their safety.
Police said a 28-year-old woman was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, while two men, aged 26 and 35, sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries, with all three reportedly known to one another.
Detectives from the family violence investigation unit are investigating the scene on Woodlee, where officers door-knock nearby residences and businesses to gather evidence.
Police are urging witnesses or anyone with footage to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 as a crime scene guard remains in place at the residence.
