Two more charged after death of Ruka Carlson in Easter Sunday brawl on Chapel St, Melbourne

Two more people have been charged following the death of a father-of-six in an Easter Sunday brawl on a busy Melbourne street.

Ruka Carlson, 30, died following a brawl that broke out on Chapel St in Prahran at about 1.30am on April 20.

Police were earlier told a group of men allegedly assaulted Mr Carlson outside a nightclub on Chapel St before chasing him down the street.

Mr Carlson then suffered multiple stab wounds outside another licensed premises nearby.

Emergency services treated him at the scene, but he died on the way to the hospital.

Police this week arrested and charged a 21-year-old Campbellfield man and a 22-year-old Roxburgh Park man in relation to the alleged incident and unrelated matters.

The 21-year-old was charged with affray, intentionally cause injury, common law assault, attempted robbery, traffick drug of dependence, possess explosives, possess ammunition, handle stolen goods, fail to provide PIN code and commit and indictable offence whislt on bail.

The 22-year-old was charged with affray, intentionally cause injury, attempted robbery and fail to provide PIN code, and is set to front Melbourne Magistrates Court on Saturday.

Police allegedly found what they believe to be drugs, ammunition, stolen items, and fireworks when they searched the 21-year-old’s property.

A 20-year-old Kurunjang man was arrested in Melton in Melbourne’s western suburbs last week.

He was charged with ******* and remanded in custody to front Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday.

A 35-year-old man from Lidcombe in Sydney’s west was previously arrested at Melbourne Airport last week.

He was charged with affray and assault related offences before he was later charged with ******* on Thursday. He is set to front Melbourne Magistrates Court on September 4.

It’s believed the two men were known to each other.

Detective Acting Inspector Chris Ellway earlier said Mr Carlson was known to police, and that he didn’t believe it was a random alleged attack.

Mr Carlson had six children with his fiancee, Monique, who revealed he’d said “I love you” in his final text to her.

His fiancee also described him as “the most beautiful soul on earth” and a “loving, caring, gentle” father.

Detectives have urged any witnesses or anyone with information to come forward, with the investigation ongoing.
