The body of a 34-year-old man was found in a Frankston house on Saturday night.

Homicide Squad detectives are appealing for public assistance to find Christopher Hillman, who they believe knows the deceased.

Mr Hillman is described as being about 190cm tall with a muscular build and shaved head.

He has a distinctive tattoo across the front of his throat which says 'Chloe'.
