Man charged with murder over Vic shooting

A man has been charged with murder over an alleged triple shooting in Melbourne's inner west on New Year's Eve.

The 55-year-old Altona North man has been charged on Thursday with two counts of murder, accused of killing two people at a home in Yarraville on December 31.

A 25-year-old Yarraville woman died at the scene, while a 29-year-old Yarraville man died the next day in hospital after the alleged gunman opened fire.

The deceased couple have been named in media as Veton Musai and his wife Lindita.

Police previously said the trio are all known to each other and it is understood the suspected gunman is a relative.

The accused is in hospital under police guard after suffering suspected gunshot wounds.

He is not due to appear in court until May.
