An Arizona man said to have influenced the people who ambushed and killed two police officers and a neighbour in a remote Queensland town in December 2022 is about to go on trial.

However, his lawyers have asked the court to exclude testimony from Australian police, claiming the “emotionally charged testimony of Australian law enforcement officials” could jeopardise his chances of a fair hearing.
