The siege that claimed the lives of two police officers and an innocent bystander has been deemed a “religiously-motivated terrorist attack” by Queensland Police.

Deputy Police Commissioner Tracy Linford said the force combed through 190 statements and the lives of the Train family, with police concluding that the trio subscribed to the “Christian extremist ideology” while also conceding that they radicalised themselves in isolation.
