A religious conspiracy theorist has been arrested in the US in relation to the tragic shooting a year ago of two Queensland police officers and a Good Samaritan neighbour.
The man has been identified as Donald Day, of Arizona, who had connected online with the ‘doomsday’ trio who planned the chilling pre-mediated attack at Wieambilla in western Queensland last December 12.
He is mentioned by name in a creepy final video talking about ‘devils’ and demons’ made by Nathaniel, Gareth and Stacey Train.
In the 41-second clip, Gareth Train says, ‘We’ll see you when we get home, Don’.
The three shot dead Constable Matthew Arnold, 26, and Constable Rachel McCrow, 29, shortly after the officers arrived at their Wieambilla property in the state’s Western Downs to inquire about Nathaniel’s whereabouts as part of a missing person’s report.
Neighbour Alan Dare was also killed in the siege before Nathan, Gareth and Stacey were all shot dead by police hours later.
In the video which sent a message to ‘Don’, Gareth Train says ‘they came to kill us, and we killed them. If you don’t defend yourself against these devils and demons, you’re a coward.’
A police investigation later found that the two slain constables were fatally ambushed by the Trains who had links to the sovereign citizen movement and subscribed to a Christian fundamentalist belief system known as premillennialism.
FBI agents on Wednesday arrested Day, 58, near Heber Overgaard, north-east of Phoenix in Arizona following an extensive investigation in partnership with Queensland Police.
