More than 450 officers are involved in a challenging manhunt through rugged terrain amid severe weather, following the fatal shooting of two police officers by Dezi Freeman.
- Victoria Police continue an intensive manhunt on its sixth day for 56-year-old Dezi Freeman, who allegedly fatally shot two officers near Porepunkah on Tuesday morning.
- The shooting occurred during an attempted warrant execution on Freeman's property related to historical sex offences, after which Freeman fled into difficult bushland terrain.
- Over 450 officers have been deployed in search of Freeman across farmland and forest near Mount Buffalo, including executing warrants leading to arrests unrelated to Freeman.
- Police extended a no-fly zone due to the suspect's heavy armament and risk to aircraft, with Police Minister Anthony Carbines urging Freeman to surrender and warning against harboring him.
- Freeman’s wife publicly condemned the killings, pled for his surrender, and pledged full cooperation with police, while the community remains tense amid ongoing searches and weather challenges.
