A man has faced court charged with murder after an altercation at a Melbourne home left another man dead and a woman fighting for life.
Emergency services were called on Saturday night to a house in Bentleigh East, in Melbourne's southeast, where a man was found with critical injuries.
Police say a physical altercation took place between two men and a woman.
One of the men, who is yet to be formally identified, died at the scene.
The woman was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
A 20-year-old Bentleigh East man faced the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Sunday, charged with one count of murder and one count of attempted murder.
He was not required to speak during the brief filing hearing.
The accused man is unable to be named due to an interim suppression order put in place by Magistrate Marc Sergeant that also bars media from reporting the names of his alleged victims.
The suppression order was requested by Victoria Police because they had so far been unable to interview the surviving victim, given her injuries, as well as concerns for her safety and the "embarrassment of having been involved in a family violence offence".
He was remanded in custody to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on November 25.
