Abhijeet Abhijeet, 26, and Robin Gartan, 27, were arrested on Tuesday morning in the NSW country town of Goulburn.
The brothers had been on the run since the early hours of Sunday after a 22-year-old man from Noble Park was killed and a 30-year-old man, also from Noble Park, was injured at an Ormond home in Melbourne's southeast.
Police on Thursday charged Gartan with murder and attempted murder while Abhijeet was charged with affray.
They faced Goulburn Local Court on Thursday morning where their extradition to Victoria was granted.
The brothers are set to front the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday.
Emergency services were called to the house on North Road about 1am following reports of a dispute.
Upon arrival, the two men were found with stab wounds.
The parties involved in the incident are believed to have been known to each other.
The two victims of the attack were called to the shared accommodation by a woman concerned about aggression and drinking at the property.
The injured man is married to the woman, while the man who died was his friend.
A weapon was found at the home and will be forensically tested.
