Police are investigating a YouTuber for potential trespass offences after footage of the property where fugitive Dezi Freeman was shot dead last month was posted online.
The YouTuber posted several videos of the Thologolong property in Victoria’s north-east, including vision from inside the shipping container where Freeman was living shortly before he was shot dead by police.
His death on 30 March came after Freeman killed two police officers and wounded a third in Porepunkah in August, before spending the next seven months on the run.
The footage shows the YouTuber, who is known as Biff and posts on The Chaos Chronicles channel, being filmed by another man as he walks through the property where Freeman died. It shows them pointing out bullet holes in an upturned boat, examining the rudimentary camp kitchen outside the shipping container and then venturing inside the container itself.
Inside, shirts are seen on hangers, a hiking bag is found on the ground and a sleeping bag, table and couch can be seen among other detritus.
Other videos include drone footage.
The videos, which include one with the title “I WENT TO DEZI FREEMANS LAST STAND HIDEOUT...THEY LIED TO US ALL !!”, were posted online in the past week.
“IN THIS VIDEO BIFF GOES TO THOLO FARM, THE HIDEOUT WHERE DEZI FREEMAN MET HIS END....AND HE FOUND SO MUCH THAT NOBODY HAS SEEN.......HE TAKES THE EXTRA RISK TO GET YOU THE FOOTAGE NO OTHER YOUTUBER OR M.S.M HAS..........THE STORY YOU WERE TOLD IS NOT THE TRUTH,” the caption on one 29-minute video, viewed almost 70,000 times, said.

“Investigators are aware of a video posted online in relation to the trespass and are investigating the circumstances.
“The investigation remains ongoing.”
