Accused cop killer Dezi Freeman, 56, remains on the run as the police manhunt enters its third day.
The ‘sovereign citizen’ allegedly shot and killed Detective Leading Senior Constable Neal Thompson, 59, and Senior Constable Vadim De Waart, 35, at a property near the small north-east Victorian town of Porepunkah on Tuesday morning.
A third officer who was shot in the thigh remains in hospital after undergoing surgery.
Fresh details have emerged about why police were executing a search warrant as Freeman’s property before he opened fire.
