Police say the woman is assisting them with inquiries.

The two victims are yet to be formally identified. 

Witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage of the incident are urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Detectives from the Homicide Squad are investigating. 

The shocking stabbing comes ten years after 29-year-old Jill Meagher was murdered while walking home on nearby Sydney Road. 

Ms Meagher, who originally hails from Ireland, was raped and murdered by a stranger while making the short walk back to the Melbourne apartment she shared with her husband, Tom, in September 2012. 

Eerie CCTV footage was aired across Australian TV screens showing the 29-year-old being approached on the way home by Adrian Bayley – who would be later given a life sentence for her murder – in hopes the missing woman might be found safe. 

Her body was found in a shallow grave north of Melbourne six days later.
