A Victorian man has been charged with murder after a dead man was found bound, gagged and wrapped in a doona in Melbourne's north-west last week.

Police arrested Klay Holland in Docklands yesterday afternoon after trying to track him down for a number of days.

The victim, 39-year-old Shane Cox, was found dead inside a unit on Fay Street, in Melton, about 11am last Wednesday.

Mr Holland was wanted for questioning over the death, with detectives on Friday launching a public appeal to help find the man.

The 30-year-old from Delahey was deemed a "person of interest" by police in the investigation.

Mr Holland faced the Melbourne Magistrates' Court last night, charged with one count of murder.

He was remanded to reappear in court at a later date.
