A suspected policeman murderer who fled for months has been killed after an unprecedented manhunt by authorities. The individual, described as a German-born Austrian with Nazi sympathies and known locally only under the moniker of Reichsbürger ("Aryan"), was shot during police operations near his home on March 30 in Australia's Northern Territory.
