A man has died after an assault at a caravan park in Merrigum, in Victoria's Goulburn Valley, prompting a homicide investigation at the same site where a knife brawl left another man critically injured in May.
Emergency services were called to the park on Waverley Avenue, about 30 kilometres west of Shepparton, at around 3:10am on Saturday. Police found two men who appeared injured and unresponsive inside the park.
Shepparton officers gave immediate assistance and performed CPR on one of the men, but he could not be revived. Ambulance Victoria took the other man to hospital in a stable condition.
Victoria Police said Homicide Squad detectives attended the scene and would investigate the circumstances of the death. Officers from the Major Crime Scene Unit were also assessing the area.
