Photos Emerge of Property Where Dezi Freeman Lived Prior to Deadly Shooting
Porepunkah, Victoria – Images have been released showing the Rayner Track property where dezi Freeman was living before he was shot by police, as authorities begin to ease travel restrictions in the surrounding areas after nearly four weeks of searching. More than 100 properties have been searched as part of the investigation into Mr. Freeman’s disappearance prior to the shooting.
victoria Police on Sunday relaxed travel warnings that had urged people to avoid Porepunkah and Bright, now requesting visitors remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. The initial warnings were implemented following the police shooting of Mr. Freeman, prompting a large-scale search operation.
Acting Deputy Commissioner of Regional operations,Russell Barrett,stated the decision to lift the restrictions was difficult but necessary.”We have to balance a lot of things when we’re making these decisions and one is the impact on community and there’s there’s no doubt whatsoever it was having a critically important impact on community,” he said.
Police continue to assess the risk level and will reinstate restrictions if needed.”If we have to change that, then we will but at the moment I am very pleasant that that is the right decision,” barrett added.
