Taskforce Summit Detectives Investigating Dezi Freeman's Movements After Police Killings Arrest Two Men
Police say the arrests are part of a Taskforce Summit probe into Freeman’s movements and possible support network after the killings of two officers.
- On Tuesday, Victoria Police and NSW Police executed seven search warrants across Buckland, Stanley, Lucyvale, Greenwich Park, Tarlo, Wombeyan Caves, and Umina Beach as part of the Taskforce Summit investigation.
- Freeman spent 216 days on the run after fatally shooting Detective Leading Senior Constable Neal Thompson and Senior Constable Vadim de Waart-Hottart in Porepunkah last August, before being shot dead in Thologolong this past March.
- Police arrested a 64-year-old man in Wodonga and a 47-year-old man in Greenwich Park during the raids; investigators believe Freeman received assistance from multiple people while evading capture.
- Taskforce Summit Detective Inspector Anthony Gasparini stated police are working to "piece together the events" of Freeman's flight and hold accountable those who provided support to "harbour a wanted fugitive."
- Two separate inquests have been scheduled to examine the deaths of the officers and Freeman's fatal shooting, while authorities urge anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers Victoria.
