Police arrested the two people at separate properties in north-east Victoria about 7am on Saturday.

“They will now be interviewed by police,” a police spokeswoman said in a statement.

“The investigation remains ongoing and as such, we are not in a position to provide further details at this immediate time.”

The man and the woman are not family members of Freeman.

He was shot dead by police on Monday at a remote property near the border town of Walwa.

Freeman had been on the run since August 19 last year, when he killed officers Neal Thompson and Vadim de Waart-Hottart when they arrived at a Porepunkah property to carry out a search warrant in relation to child sexual abuse allegations against him.
