Bulletproof Bearcat armoured police vehicles were seen entering Mount Buffalo National Park overnight as the hunt for accused cop killer Dezi Freeman enters its seventh day in regional Victoria.

Freeman has not been seen since two police officers were killed and a third was wounded in a shooting ambush at his Porepunkah property on August 26.

The so-called “sovereign citizen” is alleged to have opened fire on a group of 10 police as they attempted to execute a search warrant related to alleged historic child sex offences.

Detective Leading Senior Constable Neal Thompson and Senior Constable Vadim De Waart were killed and a third officer seriously wounded.

Police have said Freeman remains armed with multiple guns and is skilled in bushcraft.

Yesterday, the fugitive’s wife, Amalia Freeman, issued a statement through her lawyer calling on Dezi Freeman – also known as Desmond Filby – to hand himself in.

Police are yet to confirm any sightings of Freeman since the Tuesday ambush.

“I lend my full support to Victoria Police in their search for my husband and will co-operate with Victoria Police in any way that I can,” she said.

“Please Dezi, if you see or hear this, call 000 and arrange a surrender plan with the police.

“If anyone is harbouring, helping or supporting Dezi, please call 000 immediate and speak with the police.”

Amalia Freeman said she felt “deep sorrow” over the deaths of Thompson and De Waart and that neither she nor her children held anti-authority views.

A former outlaw bikie in the area, Stephen Mallett, was charged with weapons and drug offences on Friday but denied having ever met Freeman.

They are both understood to be members of a doomsday survival prep group.

Meanwhile, Freeman’s nephew, Luke, described Mount Buffalo as Freeman’s “holy place”.

“He’s always told me if he wanted to be dead and buried somewhere, it’s going to be on Mount Buffalo,” he said.
