A THE body of convicted rapist Antonio Loguancio has been found in a bungalow after a two-day siege in Melbourne came to a fiery end.

Police say the siege escalated about 1pm on Sunday when a number of shots were fired from the bungalow at the rear of a property in Glenroy.

The bungalow caught fire around 2pm and fire fighters found Loguancio's body when they extinguished the blaze.

Loguancio had been holed up in the Justin Avenue property since Friday night but the stand off came to an end after loud bangs heard coming from the property were followed by billowing smoke.

Deputy police commissioner Tim Cartwright said police had attempted to talk Loguancio out of the bungalow throughout the siege.

"His behaviour continued to escalate. At about two o'clock this afternoon the bungalow was seen to be on fire," he said.

"This is a tragedy. Our aim is always to resolve these situations with the minimum of injury and loss of life."

The homicide squad will investigate the death and present its findings to the coroner.

Police had described Loguancio as a significant risk to the community after he breached a supervision order and allegedly assaulted his partner before going into hiding.

He had been released on a supervision order after being jailed for 12 years for multiple counts of rape, assault and other offences.
