Background Briefing can reveal that Australia's first alleged Christian terrorists forged their fateful bond years ago following an explosive family rift.
Australia's first alleged Christian terrorists forged their fateful bond decades ago when they jointly accused two of their parents of child sexual abuse and cut all family ties.
Ron Train said Stacey took the lead in ventilating the abuse claims during a family wedding in Coffs Harbour in 1999.In the first of this two-part investigation into Australia's first Christian terrorists, reporter Josh Robertson examines how a trio from Queensland forged a bond that would turn deadly.She and Nathaniel, who were then married with two young children, turned up unexpectedly with Nathaniel's brother, Gareth, after avoiding the family for months.
Ron said Nathaniel tried to begin a "rational discussion" with him but "Stacey flew in and … pulled him away".He said he later wrote to his sons, challenging their claims and suggesting they be put to the family doctor, but the brothers never responded. "I knew some of the circumstances, but because it had been shared to me in confidence as a pastor, I couldn't share any information, and that disturbed ," he said.Mr Train said the trio's decision to "sever ties with both our family and Stacey's family was devastating".
Gareth was "more aggressive, controlling" and had learning difficulties. He was expelled from an agricultural college in Dalby after throwing another student through a pane of glass.
