Woman's body found in car in Melbourne

A man has been arrested after a woman's body was found in a Melbourne car park.

Police are still at the scene, in Clayton South, where a woman's body was found inside a car near Keeley Reserve in Mallawa Street at 3.30pm on Wednesday.

A man has been arrested in Dandenong and is being interviewed by police over the suspicious death.

Ambulance Victoria says paramedics were called to the car park on Wednesday afternoon to treat a woman who had been assaulted, but arrived to find she had died.

The Nine Network reports police are door-knocking the area, asking locals if they heard or saw anything suspicious overnight on Tuesday or any time before she was found on Wednesday.

Neighbours say children frequently play in the park close to where the woman's body was found.
