Two guns found in South Yarra park after eight recent shooting deaths in MelbourneA search continues in the Melbourne park where the eighth man to be shot dead in as many weeks in the city was found. State Emergency Service volunteers and police returned to Fawkner Park at South Yarra on Sunday following the murder of a 41-year-old Carnegie man, whose body was discovered by two members of the public on Friday night. The search comes after two guns were found at the park, reportedly by children. “There’s no evidence to suggest it was a random shooting,” Sen Sgt Andrew Brady told reporters on Saturday. The opposition leader, Michael O’Brien, said gun crime was out of control in Melbourne and police needed more resources and powers.
