Five of the six people arrested last week were charged with murder.

It relates to allegations a 30-year-old man was dragged out of a residence in South Morang back on May 15 and thrown into a vehicle.

The man was later found deceased in parkland in Tarneit, with the vehicle found burnt out.

The 17-year-old will face children’s court today.
