Police killer Dezi Freeman evaded authorities for more than 200 days before he was reportedly shot and killed by police on Monday morning.
Freeman shot and killed two police officers on August 26 last year before escaping and hiding in rugged bushland in north-east Victoria.
His evasion of police captured public attention primarily because it is so rare for fugitives to avoid capture for so long. The hunt for him was the largest tactical police operation in Australian history.
