A Queensland coroner has recounted the day two police officers and a neighbour were gunned down in an ambush at a rural property in Wieambilla, near the small country town of Chinchilla, on Dec. 12, 2022.
As part of coroner Terry Ryan’s findings it was determined that the three perpetrators—brothers Gareth and Nathaniel Train and Gareth’s wife, Stacey, who had previously been married to Nathaniel—were “morally insane” at the time of the shootings, which had previously been branded as a type of Christian extremism.
