The resident of Bulleen was arrested Thursday morning after a search warrant was executed.

Ms Dixon was raped and killed on her way home from a comedy show at the Highlander Bar in the CBD on Tuesday night.

She reportedly sent her boyfriend a message saying "I'm almost home safe", but never made it.
