Yesterday, one of Australia’s biggest manhunts in history came to an end with the news that police had shot dead a man believed to be fugitive Dezi Freeman.

You might remember that name - last August Freeman killed two police officers at a property in regional Victoria. And he’s been on the run ever since. Until yesterday.

Today, we will go through what we know about the killing of one of Australia’s most-wanted criminals.
