A 29-year-old woman has been charged with murder following a fatal house fire in Melbourne's south-east last month.
Emergency services were called to a property on Sunburnt Circuit in Clyde North, approximately 46km from the city centre, at around 1.45am on 18 December. Two men, aged 46 and 44, were taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. The 44-year-old later died from his injuries, while a woman was also hospitalised with non-life-threatening injuries.
Victoria Police confirmed on Friday that the woman, who had been under police guard in hospital, was charged with one count of murder and one count of attempted murder. Police believe the parties involved are known to each other.
The woman was remanded in custody and is due to appear at Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Saturday. Two other occupants, a 43-year-old woman and an 11-year-old girl, were not physically injured. The 46-year-old man remains in hospital in a stable condition.
