Urgent search for two brothers after fatal stabbing in Melbourne

An urgent police search is under way for two brothers after a fatal stabbing in Melbourne's south-east over the weekend.

A 30-year-old man was killed after an argument broke out at a home in Ormond about 1am yesterday, and a 22-year-old man was seriously injured.

Police are now searching for brothers – Abhijeet Abhijeet, 26, and Robin Gartan, 27 – in relation to the incident.

The brothers are both of Indian descent.

Homicide Squad Detective Inspector Dean Thomas said the men fled the scene following a violent dispute.

Police arrived at the scene shortly later to find two men suffering stab wounds.

A 30-year-old man died, while a 22-year-old Noble Park was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Thomas said the parties involved in the incident were known to each other and police were still working to establish the cause of the dispute.

Thomas said a group of men, including the suspects, were drinking alcohol outside the property before the stabbing.

He said tensions reached boiling point when some occupants of the home wanted to move out.

"What investigators have gathered so far is that late afternoon to early evening on Saturday, there was party or gathering of four men, including the two suspects," he said.

"Throughout the evening there was an altercation that occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning between the two suspects and the two victims, resulting with the victims being stabbed, one fatally."

They are believed to be travelling in a stolen 2014 white Toyota Camry sedan with registration 1ZO 2QW.

Abhijeet is described as being 170cm tall with a solid build and black hair, while Gartan is described as being 170cm tall with a solid build and black hair.

Anyone who sights the pair is urged not to approach them and to contact triple zero (000) immediately.
