‘Sovereign citizen’ Dezi Freeman, 56, remains on the run after he allegedly shot and killed two police officers and wounded a third with a home-made shotgun at a property near the small north-east Victorian town of Porepunkah on Tuesday morning.
A 59-year-old detective and a 35-year-old senior constable both died in the horrific incident, which came after 10 officers arrived at the property to serve a warrant.
Freeman allegedly took the dead officers’ guns and a police radio to listen to officers’ movements and then fled deep into alpine wilderness, about 300km northeast of Melbourne.
A huge police contigent continues to hunt the fugitive as the search enters its fourth day.
