Two men who were arrested as part of an ongoing police investigation into the movements of Dezi Freeman have been released from custody, pending further enquiries.
Background of the Case
Freeman was shot dead at a remote property in Thologolong, near the Victorian-New South Wales border, on March 30. He had been on the run for seven months after fatally shooting two police officers who were visiting his home in Porepunkah, in Victoria's north-east, last August to serve an arrest warrant.
Arrests and Release
After Freeman was shot dead, police launched an investigation into those who may have helped him evade authorities for months. On Tuesday, a 48-year-old man and a 45-year-old man were arrested at two separate locations in north-east Victoria. However, 24 hours later, police confirmed they had been released.
'Two men aged 48 and 45 arrested by Taskforce Summit yesterday have been released pending further enquiries,' a statement read. 'The investigation remains ongoing and as such, we are not in a position to provide further details at this immediate time.'
More updates are expected as the investigation continues.
