The body was discovered by a passer-by in the Maribyrnong River near Smithfield Rd in Flemington on Sunday.
Detectives arrested a 49-year-old West Footscray woman along with a 15-year-old West Footscray boy on Tuesday afternoon.
The woman was charged with murder following a police interview and is due to face court on Wednesday.
The boy was released without charge.
Police believe the pair knew the victim, who is yet to be formally identified.
A member of the public had earlier on Sunday found a man's body in the same river close to the Footscray Wharf, but the discoveries are not linked.
The man's death is not being treated as suspicious.
