The Queensland state coroner will review the diaries, online activities and six years’ of phone data relating to Wieambilla shooters Gareth, Nathaniel and Stacey Train in a bid to understand how they became radicalised and identify any potential associates.

A pre-inquest conference into the December 2022 deaths of police officers Matthew Arnold and Rachel McCrow, and neighbour Alan Dare, was told on Thursday they were each shot dead in circumstances where they had “no interactions” with anyone at the Wieambilla property.
