Police have arrested a 58-year-old woman from New South Wales as part of an ongoing investigation into the movements of Desmond “Dezi” Freeman, the man who fatally shot two police officers and wounded a third in regional Victoria.
Arrest in Connection with Freeman's Movements
Victoria Police confirmed on Friday afternoon that detectives were questioning the woman. No further details have been released as the investigation continues. Freeman, a 56-year-old self-described “sovereign citizen,” was shot and killed by police in August after the attack in the small town of Porepunkah.
Details of the August Attack
During the incident, Freeman killed two officers and injured another. The coroner has heard that Freeman yelled abuse at a dying officer during the shooting. The attack shocked the nation and raised questions about the ideology of sovereign citizens, who often reject government authority.
Ongoing Investigation
Police have not disclosed the nature of the woman’s alleged involvement or what specific movements of Freeman are under scrutiny. The investigation remains active, and authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward.
