A missing teacher and his conspiracy-obsessed brother killed two rookie police officers in an execution-style shooting on a rural estate that has sent shockwaves through Australia.
Police said the bloodshed started around 4.45pm on Monday afternoon when four officers arrived at a remote property in Queensland as part of an investigation into missing teacher Nathaniel Train.
Nathaniel, his brother Gareth and Gareth’s wife Stacey Train then opened fire on a group of officers, fatally wounding police constables Matthew Arnold, 26, and Rachel McCrow, 29, who had only been on the force a year. Mr Arnold was sworn in as an officer in 2020, just a year before.
