Search for Dezі Frіmen continues after shooting in Porpunka

  • Dezі Frіmen is suspected in the murder of two police officers in Porpunka.
  • He is a representative of the movement "sovereign citizens" with a history of rights violations.
  • The search continues, as he is armed and dangerous.

In Australia, the search is ongoing for 56-year-old Dezі Frіmen, who is suspected in the murder of two police officers in Porpunka, Victoria. The incident occurred on September 26, 2025, when Frіmen opened fire on a group of ten officers who were attempting to execute an arrest warrant.

According to reports, Frіmen, who refers to himself as "sovereign citizen," fled into the nearby wooded areas after the shooting. Police confirmed that two officers, Detective Nil Tompson and Senior Constable Vadim de Vart, were killed, and another officer was injured.

Frіmen has a history of rights violations and is known for his anti-police views. Previously, he attempted to challenge his court rulings and expressed disdain for law enforcement. Police consider him "very dangerous" and armed, and they have urged residents to remain indoors.

Meanwhile, Premier of Australia, Anthony Albanese, emphasized that the threat of "sovereign citizens" and extremist ideologies is a serious problem that requires attention. The search operation is still ongoing, as Frіmen is well aware of the local terrain and may be hiding in the woods.
