It is understood police were advised at least a month ago that there was sufficient evidence to charge.............
There was no sign of anyone at the Ristevski's Avondale Heights home on Wednesday morning.
Neighbour Mark Johns, 20, didn't see police arrest Mr Ristevski on Wednesday morning and said he believed the family may have moved out.
"We heard recently that they did move out, that they were renting out the place, but otherwise you wouldn't hear a lot, mostly rumours."
Another neighbour who didn't want to be named said he saw a moving van in the driveway of the Ristevski family home several days ago.
"I assumed they were moving house because it was a big truck and they were moving everything into it."
A third neighbour, who also declined to be named, said he last saw Mr Ristevski at the Oakley Drive home three weeks ago mowing the lawn.
He said Mr Ristevski said hello to him, but he hadn't seen the couple's daughter Sarah at the home for some time...........
It is unclear whether the family still lived in the property which was listed for rent last month at the price of $900 per week.
