Dezi Freeman found by Victorian Police and shot dead in standoff

[onetrack]

Victorian police have announced they found Dezi Freeman hiding/living in a "container-style" structure, near Walwa, about 200kms from where he was last sighted 200 days ago.

 

They sent in a sizeable force to negotiate with him, but Freeman refused to disarm and came out of the structure carrying a weapon, so the police shot him dead.

 

It seems obvious that Freeman has had assistance in hiding from the authorities for the last 200 days, so I expect there will be arrests for hiding a fugitive.

Haaa yeah, saw the other one but l suppose we may as well pick just one eh.

No doubt he prob did have some help but eh there's plenty of dead empty farms and properties about in country areas , wouldn't need rocket science in finding one of 100s so who knows.

l thought he'd be 1000s of k away long ago myself, interstate somewhere.

Courtesy of Lab/Lib governments who set aside billions for the major cities, and none for Rural Australia. Except if they're chasing a criminal, and that's about it.
