As of Friday morning there had been no confirmed sightings of Freeman, 56, also known as Desmond Filby, since he allegedly shot and killed two police officers and injured a third when they came to execute an arrest warrant on him at a rural property in Porepunkah on Tuesday."
"Victoria police on Friday morning said they had safely arrested the woman and teenage boy after detectives and special operations police attended a Porepunkah address about 8.40pm. Police said the pair were taken into custody, interviewed and released, and that their arrests formed part of the ongoing investigation into the deaths of Det Leading Sen Const Neal Thompson, 59, and Sen Const Vadim De Waart, 35. Freeman's location remained unknown, police said."
