Australian police suspect called the Manhunt continuing

Australian police are continuing the huge search for a minor armed man suspected of shooting and killing two officers in a rural town.

Ten police officers were expelled on Tuesday after traveling to the property in Birboa – about 300 km (186 miles) northeast of Melbourne – to implement an order for alleged sexual crimes.

About 24 hours later, the police appointed the suspect as a local man, Daisi Freeman, 56, and confirmed that he was “still free.”

The police deployed officers, helicopters and armored vehicles to the area and warned the locals against staying at home until Mr. Freeman was arrested.

“We are setting up every resource in the research,” said Victoria Mike Bush Police Chief.

“Be awake, keep your safety.”

He previously said that the two officers were “killed in cold blood” and identified them as a 59-year-old and 35-year-old-but he said that their names would not be launched until relatives were informed.

Mr. Bush said that a third officer was wounded in the shooting now, and although “damaged greatly” will recover.

He also addressed the previous reports submitted by the local media that Mr. Freeman had taken his family as a hostage, adding that the police spoke to his partner and children and that they were safe.

The authorities had no scenes of Mr. Freeman since he fled after the shooting, and focused on the “thick bush zone” near his home.

“This field will know better than us, and for this reason we put every expert, with the support of local knowledge,” said Mr. Bush.

“Our understanding is that he understands Bushcraft well that provides a challenge to us.”

It is highly surrounded by the tested hills in the Australian Alps, and Porepunkah is about an hour drive from the New South Wales borders.

Mr. Bush added that the police are looking for a “very wide” area and also exploring whether Mr. Freeman had left the state – although there is no “information” at this stage indicating that this has happened.
