Wild Images Reveal Look Inside Dezi Freeman’s Squalid Hideout

The video shows squalid conditions, personal items and a bullet-riddled boat as Victoria Police investigate a trespass report.

  • Victoria Police are investigating a report of trespass after a YouTuber released footage from inside the shipping container where Dezi Freeman hid before his death in late March.
  • Freeman murdered Detective Leading Constable Neal Thompson and Constable Vadim de Waart-Hottart in Porepunkah last August, then remained a fugitive for more than 216 days until cornered at Thologolong in March.
  • Footage reveals the interior strewn with rubbish and vitamin bottles; an overturned boat nearby shows bullet holes from the final confrontation. The YouTuber said, "Oh my God, I can't breathe in here."
  • The YouTuber claimed he was "sticking to the rules" when entering the private property to retrieve a crashed drone; Victoria Police confirmed they are investigating the April 16 trespass report.
  • Property owner Richard Sutherland, residing in Tasmania, stated he had no connection to Freeman and was unaware of his presence. The video has amassed more than 60,000 views online.
