Australian police have shot and killed Dezi Freeman after the double-murderer spent seven months on the run. A well-known conspiracy theorist, Freeman gunned down two police officers on his property in the small Victorian town of Porepunkah last August, before fleeing into dense bushland and evading extensive searches. Victoria Police say a man was shot dead after an hours-long standoff at a rural property. Chief Commissioner Mike Bush stated that the man is believed to be Freeman, with formal identification underway. Today an evil man is dead, said Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan, emphasizing that the ordeal is over. Police surrounded Freeman's location early on Monday morning and, after three hours of negotiations, the suspect emerged from a building but was shot dead while armed. Freeman had a history of conflict with authority, being a self-described 'sovereign citizen', part of a movement that rejects government authority. His death brings closure to a tragic sequence of events that left a cloud over the local community.
