POLICE have revealed the mysterious double murder of a pregnant woman and her decapitated husband may have been related to a dispute over dogs.

Athena Georgopoulos, 39, was found dead alongside her husband Andrew Gunn, 50, whose head is understood to have been stuck to a stick.

Ross Judd, a 34-year-old homeless man, was arrested at Westall train station in Melbourne, Australia, and was later charged with two counts of murder.

Working to establish a motive for the brutal killings, cops have now revealed that the ordeal may have been related to an argument about dogs.

The alleged quarrel took place between Matthew, who owned a german shepherd, and Judd, who was found with two dogs of the same breed when he was arrested.

Matthew’s dog was named Dragon, local neighbours reported.

One neighbour alleged they heared loud arguing and shouting as well as continuous barking from dogs coming from the victims’ home – only an hour before their deaths.

Judd was reportedly spotted with two dogs when he allegedly visited a McDonald’s about an hour after the bodies were found.

Athena was five months pregnant when she died and was expecting a baby girl.

The neighbour who made the harrowing discovery, Ben Scott-Sandvik, told the Herald Sun: “I mean, no one should have to come across what I saw down there.”

He added: “And nobody needs to live knowing that this sort of thing has happened to their families.”

Cops dramatically swarmed the property the couple were in on Monday night after a neighbour heard screams and alerted police.

Suspected killer Judd appeared at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Wednesday.

A police prosecutor said: “It’s a complex crime scene, a significant amount of DNA.”

Grim footage of his arrest reportedly showed the suspect dressed in a blood-stained white T-shirt while being gripped by an officer.

The man appears on his knees before he is pulled to his feet on the station platform as another officer points at the ground.

Police allege the accused murderer was known to the couple, and that one of the victims lived in the unit.

An alleged motive for remains unclear – but it has been speculated the case may be drug-related.

Chilling graffiti sprayed across the couple’s home read: “Karma is not a menu.”

Vegan slogans like “meat is murder” were also plastered across the property wall, alongside haunting words like “betrayal”, “unpredictable” and “inevitable”.

The messy graffiti, which was sprayed in luminous yellow, green and black paint also included derogatory and aggressive phrases like “U R Gay” and “Enough is Enough”.

A police spokesperson said: “Police are aware of graffiti on the property in Mount Waverley where the bodies of two people were located last night.

“Homicide Squad detectives will work to determine if the graffiti is relevant to the murder investigation.”

Local inspector Dean Thomas said the arrested man was known to the pair.

He said on Tuesday morning: “We believe that there is a link between our suspect and the address.”

The officer added: “Police were called at about 9.20pm in relation to a welfare check at the address based on some yelling that was heard from the property.

“A second call was then made that suggested it was perhaps more urgent than what the first call was and police arrived minutes later, and obviously they found the male and female inside the premises deceased.

“We believe he [the suspect] may be of no fixed place of abode.

“It appears to be targeted and our suspect is known to the address.”

Judd is due to face court again on January 13, 2026.
