Police are appealing to the public for help as they continue to investigate the death of 55-year-old Shannon Shelby Baker.
Mr Baker was found deceased at an address on Calgary Street, Sandringham, on the morning of Tuesday 11th December.

The last known sighting of his vehicle was exiting the motorway at St Lukes at 10.25pm on Monday night.
Police are releasing photos of the vehicle he was driving, a green Mercedes registration FCG929 and anyone who may have seen this vehicle in the area on Monday night or in the early hours of Tuesday morning is urged to come forward to Police.

“We are working to piece together what happened in the lead up to his death and want to hear from anyone who was in recent contact with Shannon or may have seen him on Monday night.”
