Fugitive wanted over Australia police killings being helped, police say
Published: 9/1/2025

Australian fugitive Dezi Freeman, wanted for killing two officers, is being aided by community members, as police continue the manhunt. Freeman, a conspiracy theorist, escaped into bushland near his property in Porepunkah amid a sex crimes investigation. Despite appeals for his surrender and a week-long search, police have not located the 56-year-old, warning those sheltering him face serious charges. The case has raised concerns about handling threats from individuals like Freeman, known for anti-authority views and "sovereign citizen" beliefs.
