State Coroner Liberty Sanger is holding separate inquests looking at the deaths of two police officers and Freeman.
The final moments before double police killer Dezi Freeman died in a hail of bullets have been outlined ahead of an inquest.
The Porepunkah property owner has given an eye-witness account.
Australia's most wanted man was killed just outside in a hail of bullets following months on the run.
Police last night left the Thologolong property where the double police killer died in a volley of gunfire on Monday.
The stolen gun wielded by the double police killer was likely shot out of his hands, John Silvester says.
Police received a tip-off to an individual close to Dezi Freeman who repeatedly made the journey from Porepunkah to the town near the Victoria-NSW border.
The Porepunkha gunman had been receiving food and water in his remote hideaway before police tracked him down.
Seven months after he killed two police officers, Dezi Freeman emerged from a shipping container draped in a blanket. Soon after, Australia's most wanted fugitive was dead.
