Officers found the bodies of a woman and a man inside the house.
The woman has been formally identified as a 39-year-old from Mount Waverley and 9News understands she was five months pregnant.
Police believe the man is a 50-year-old from Mount Waverley, but they are still working to formally identify him.
It's understood he was found decapitated.
After making the grisly discovery, police, including the canine squad, launched a large manhunt in the surrounding streets.
Officers arrested a 34-year-old man of no fixed address about 1.40am today at Westall Station, where he was found walking with two German shepherds.
Video footage captured him being taken into a divvy van in cuffs with a bloody shirt.
Detectives were questioning him tonight before announcing he'd been charged about 10.30pm.
Earlier today, Detective Inspector Dean Thomas said the man arrived at the home before the start of a dispute, which allegedly resulted in the two deaths.
"The message here is that it appears to be a targeted attack. Our suspect is known to the address," Thomas alleged.
"We are not looking for anybody else. It appears to be isolated."

9News understands the accused had been to the home several times in the past but was not related to the victims.
Exactly how they knew each other will form part of the police investigation, along with whether the motive behind the attack was the result of a drug debt.
Various words and phrases have been spray-painted on the house where the victims were found, including "karma has no menu" and "enough is enough".
Images captured by the 9News helicopter show several exterior walls covered in graffiti.
"Homicide Squad detectives will work to determine if the graffiti is relevant to the murder investigation," police told 9News.
Anyone who witnessed the incident, with footage or information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential online report.
