Nathaniel, Gareth and Stacey Train were motivated by fundamentalist Christian ideology to commit the fatal shooting at a Wieambilla property in Queensland’s Western Downs last year, police say. 7NEWS
This includes phone messages, emails, social media postings, and Stacey Train’s diary.Nathaniel, Gareth and Stacey Train were motivated by fundamentalist Christian ideology to commit the fatal shootings at Wieambilla.“What we’ve been able to glean from that information is that the Train family members subscribed to what we would call a broad Christian fundamentalist belief system, known as premillenialism,” Linford said.
After examining the evidence, police believe there was significant planning and preparation by the Trains. “They had CCTV,” Lindford said. “The gates were locked. We even found they had mirrors on trees we suspect were to alert them to people travelling down the road.“But I want to stress that there is absolutely no evidence at this time that anyone else in Australia participated or assisted in this attack. We are not looking for anyone else in Australia.”‘Range of catalyst events’
