A dad has been stabbed to death hours before Father's Day during a violent argument with a neighbour.
The man was stabbed 11 times at Shawlands Caravan Park in Dandenong South about 10pm on Saturday by a neighbour before he died at the scene.
The victim only moved into the Melbourne area a week earlier with his 21-year-old son.

A fight allegedly broke out between the father and son, and the attacker and his 32-year-old partner.
Another resident at the caravan park said he knew the alleged murderer, claiming he was very drunk on Saturday night.
'I think he was drunk. I saw him yesterday and he said he got a bottle of Jim Beam,' Steven Marsh said to the Herald Sun.
'You wouldn't just go and stab someone sober. He was ragdolling them all around. I saw a lot of blood.'

The 25-year-old alleged killer is in hospital under police guard with non-life threatening injuries. No charges have been laid.
The son of the deceased man, who is believed to have been stabbed and the partner of the attacker, was also taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Victoria Police said in a statement that a crime scene had been established, and forensic police were at the park on Sunday morning bagging items for evidence.
The weapon used in the attack has not yet been identified.
