Wieambilla property where two police officers, innocent neighbour murdered by crazed trio now ‘under offer’

The Queensland property where two police officers and an innocent Samaritan neighbor were murdered by three religious fanatics has been snapped up by a mystery buyer.

The 43.51-hectare property at 251 Wains Rd in Wieambilla was previously receiving offers above $190,000 after hitting the market in February.

It was previously occupied by Nathaniel, Gareth and Stacey Train until they died in one of the Sunshine State’s worst police shootings in history.

Queensland Police officers Rachel McCrow and Matthew Arnold were killed by the trio while conducting a welfare check on December 12, 2022.

Alan Dare, the train’s neighbor, was also killed.

Nathaniel, Gareth and Stacey Train were shot dead following a tactical police siege later that night.

The property’s shock listing earlier this year followed negotiations by the Queensland Police Union (QPU) to purchase the land where the massacre took place.

Multiple listings now state the property is “under offer.”

The house had been in disrepair since the shooting; photos showed litter and litter littering the hallways, floors and tables.

In one image, multiple VCRs can be seen stacked in a corner, while in others, a gun safe and a copy of Shooter magazine can be seen on the floor.

While most of the vegetation on the property remains neglected, a hatch-like opening can be seen on the veranda.

The property listing reads: “Large lifestyle block, 2 bedroom house, small dam and house paddock. Property in dilapidated condition. Price is for property as is. Open to offers.”

He goes on to state that the property in question was sold as part of “executive responsibilities of a deceased estate.”

“We hope for a quick sale to someone who will be respectful of the property, considering its history,” the ad continues.

“Composting Toilet, no mains connection for electricity, no off-grid electricity connection, no mains water.

“Water is supplied through a rainwater tank system, which currently has no pump and is not working.”

The property was priced at $504.47 semiannually, according to the listing.

The property update comes after State Attorney Terry Ryan delivered his findings into the bloody massacre following a weeks-long investigation in Brisbane.

The massacre came to light when four police officers – Rachel McCrow, Matthew Arnold, Randall Kirk and Keely Brough – went to the property in Queensland’s Western Downs to conduct a welfare check on Nathaniel Train.

He was officially reported as a missing person that same month.

The two brothers and Stacey (who was previously married to Nathaniel, but was married to Gareth at the time of his death) were followers of an extremist Christian ideology known as premillennialism, which believed that Jesus Christ would return to earth after a period of extreme suffering.

All four officers were fired upon moments after jumping over the fence leading to the Wains Rd property.

Police Officer Arnold was fatally shot in the torso, and moments later Officer McCrow was shot in the upper left back and shoulder area, then shot again in the lower right leg and upper left leg.

While Police Officer Kirk was injured as a result of the fire opened by the trains, Officer Brough fled to the forest area.

In response, Trains lit a fire on the property in an attempt to draw him out.

Mr. Dare was later killed while investigating these fires.

In his findings, Mr Ryan said it was not possible to conclude whether Trains had committed an act of terrorism as defined by law, citing the trio’s shared constellation of psychotic delusions, beliefs of persecution and hatred of the police.

It found that NSW Police officers acted “in accordance” with relevant policies when issuing Nathaniel’s missing person report.

Prior to attending the incident, Queensland Police had obtained a note containing detailed information about the firearm in Nathaniel’s possession.

They were also made aware of Gareth Train’s hatred of the police and the threatening emails he had previously sent to his nephew Aidan Train.

Emails provided by Stacey Train earlier that day were not provided.

“I accept the evidence given by a number of witnesses from both Queensland and NSW Police: that had the emails been provided, Queensland Police officers would have had the opportunity to undertake a more comprehensive risk assessment,” Mr Ryan said.

“The dispatched officers had no such chance.”

Mr Ryan said it was not possible to know whether a different outcome would have emerged had additional information been provided.

“Under the circumstances it is not possible for me to make a definitive finding,” he said.

In his findings, Mr Ryan made recommendations for Queensland Police to expand aerial reconnaissance (including the use of drones).
