Labor calls on Brad Battin to apologise after appearance at active crime scene before victim’s next of kin were notified
The Victorian opposition leader, Brad Battin, has defended taking a detour on his way to work to hold an impromptu press conference at the scene of a fatal stabbing in Melbourne’s south-east, saying he will continue to visit active crime scenes.
Emergency services were first called to the petrol station on the corner of Potter Street and Princes Highway at Dandenong about 4.50am on Tuesday in response to reports a man had been stabbed.
