One year after two beloved Victoria police officers were fatally shot during a high-stakes arrest, the community gathers to honor their sacrifice. Detective Leading Senior Constable Neal Thompson and Senior Constable Vadim de Waart-Hottart fell in the line of duty near Porepunkah, sparking Australia’s largest tactical manhunt — which ended with the suspect, Dezi Freeman, fatally shot while holding the very gun belonging to de Waart-Hottart. As coronial hearings continue, a permanent monument will be unveiled tomorrow at Wangaratta Police Station, with another ceremony planned in Bright, as locals and mourners reflect on the lives lost and the enduring legacy of courage they left behind.
