Two men, aged 48 and 35, were arrested at separate locations in Victoria and are being questioned over suspected links to Dezi Freeman’s escape and months in hiding.
Police had said after Freeman was found in March on a remote farm about 150 km from Porepunkah that he likely received help after fleeing into bushland.
Freeman triggered one of Australia’s largest manhunts after allegedly killing senior constables Neal Thompson and Vadim de Waart in August when officers came to serve warrants tied to historical sex offences.
A tip-off led police to Freeman in March; he was shot dead after a three-hour standoff when he emerged from a container wrapped in a blanket and holding a stolen police gun.
The arrests extend an investigation into how the self-described sovereign citizen evaded capture for seven months after the rural Victoria shootings.
