A 26-year-old Tatura man has been arrested and bailed to appear in Shepparton Magistrates Court on June 5 where a small rally is being planned by friends as a show of support for Ms Sanders.
Detectives allege that on Friday night, April 25, two people were involved in an altercation outside Ms Sanders home on Hargrave Court just after 8.30pm, when she tried to intervene.
It’s alleged a man got into a car a short time later and collided with her as he left the scene.
CPR was performed on Ms Sanders though she was not able to be revived.
The Chronicle understands that witnesses were able to give detailed descriptions of how the incident unfolded but the man has not been charged in relation to her death.
He was charged with breaching an intervention order and making threats to kill, as the investigation remains ongoing.
Police located the vehicle in Shepparton and arrested the man at about 2am.
Police have asked that any witnesses, with dashcam/CCTV footage or information, are urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
