An expert will tell an inquiry that three Christian extremists killed two police officers and a bystander and wounded a third police officer in an ambush on a rural Australian property in 2022 in an act of terrorism. A Queensland state coroner started hearing an inquiry on Monday into a siege in the sparsely populated Wieambilla region in 2022. Brothers Gareth and Nathaniel Train and Gareth’s wife Stacey Train were killed by police in a siege hours after they fired on police officers. The lawyer presenting the evidence, Ruth O’Gorman, said an academic would testify that the ambush was a “terrorist act" aimed at intimidating the Queensland government and police.
