The body of Mr Hunter was discovered at a property in Victoria Street, Dimboola, on the evening of January 23, 2023, just one block away from the local police station.
The township was in shock as plain clothes and uniform officers questioned locals as they cordoned off the house, and forensic teams were on site the next day collecting evidence.
