Man charged after filming inside Dezi Freeman's hideout

A man has been charged with trespass after he filmed inside the shipping container where Dezi Freeman was living prior to his death. The 43-year-old Yea man allegedly entered the Thologolong property in Victoria's north-east in April, about three weeks after Freeman was shot dead by police.

He later published footage filmed inside the shipping container and around the property online, claiming he had accessed the site to retrieve a drone. In a video posted online, the man stated police had been "looking for him" and he had to "hand himself in," adding that he had since been charged.

Victoria Police confirmed the man was charged by Wodonga crime investigation unit detectives with one count of trespass. He is due to appear at Wodonga Magistrates' Court in October. Freeman was shot dead by police on March 30 at the remote property on the New South Wales–Victoria border, after more than seven months on the run. He had been hiding in a converted shipping container after fatally shooting two police officers in August last year.
