A man is in custody over the brutal stabbing of a Melbourne schoolgirl as she walked in her local park.

Detective Inspector Michael Hughes said the man, aged in his 20s, was known to police.

"He's been cautioned and we have to be mindful of his rights. If as a subject of being interviewed today he's charged, we'll release his name and all that information will come out from there," he said.

The man handed himself into police after CCTV footage was released on Wednesday showing a man they wanted to question over the slaying of Masa Vukotic, 17.

She was stabbed to death near her Doncaster home on Tuesday.
