Police vow to track down the people who helped Dezi Freeman after killer shot dead in early morning raid

On an isolated bush block in the state’s north-east, in a squalid camp without running water or electricity, cop killer Dezi Freeman’s seven months on the run came to an end.

It’s unclear how or when the 56-year-old fugitive arrived at the Murray River Road property in Thologolong, where he was shot dead by heavily armed police on Monday morning.

Freeman was living among a cluster of shipping containers and portable buildings, in what one local described as “a whole heap of crap”.

Aerial footage taken after the siege shows a ramshackle camp sprawled around three containers, a donga and a broken-down bus, ringed by plastic tarps, camp chairs and cheap tables.
