Massive Hunt for Alleged Cop Killer Enters Day Eight

Victoria Police have received over 450 tips from the public during the ongoing manhunt for Dezi Freeman and his accomplices, who are accused of killing two officers during a raid in regional Victoria.

  • Victoria Police are conducting an eighth-day manhunt for Dezi Freeman, accused of killing two officers at his Porepunkah property on August 26, 2025.
  • The search began after officers executing a warrant related to historic sex offenses were ambushed and killed by Freeman, who has since been evading capture in Victoria's high country.
  • Police have deployed more than 400 officers, including aerial searches with thermal cameras, and set up a mobile facility in Bright to encourage public information sharing.
  • Superintendent Brett Kahan called on Freeman and anyone assisting or aware of those helping him to come forward and surrender to the authorities.
  • The manhunt has intensified amid concerns Freeman is being aided by supporters, with authorities vowing to continue the search until he is found and emphasizing the seriousness of harbouring him.
