Troubling love triangle trio details emerge

Gareth, Stacey and her ex-husband and brother-in-law Nathaniel were all shot dead by specialist police officers after they executed two cops.

Cop killer Gareth Train was an “a**ehole” and his wife Stacey would still be alive if he had not exerted his “controlling” influence over her, her family have claimed.

Gareth, Stacey and her ex-husband and brother-in-law Nathaniel were all shot dead by specialist police officers after they executed two cops in a suspected ambush outside their remote Queensland fortress on Monday.

Their bizarre ‘love triangle’ relationship sparked a rift in their family when Stacey left Nathaniel for Gareth - with the brothers’ father Ronald telling A Current Affair that Gareth had “taken over” Nathaniel’s marriage.

That was echoed by a relative of Stacey Train, who told The Guardian that they “knew Gareth was an a**ehole when he took over his brother’s wife”.

“It was all downhill from there. Now she is dead because of them,” she added.

Locals previously said Gareth Train was a “control freak” and that Stacey Train was rarely allowed to speak. One claimed they saw him assault her by dragging her by the hair.

It emerged earlier on Friday that Gareth and Stacey Train recorded a chilling video on the night of the deadly ambush.

“They came to kill us, and we killed them,” Gareth says, shrouded in darkness with his wife at his side.

“If you don’t defend yourself against these devils and demons, you’re a coward.”

The trio had earlier murdered Constables Rachel McCrow, 29, and Matthew Arnold, 26, “execution-style”, along with their neighbour Alan Dare.

Stacey Train quoted an obscure Bible verse about death moments before she was gunned down, according to the ominous ramblings of an American man.

He said he wished he was with his “friends”, Gareth and Stacey Train, on the night they murdered two officers and a bystander before they were eventually killed by tactical police.

“I received a message from my brother Daniel, and my sister Jane, in Queensland, Australia, but the devils came for them, to kill them,” he said in the disturbing clip.

“And they had to kill the devils themselves and are now on the run,” he said, referring to the video Stacey and Gareth Train are believed to have posted.

In another video posted Friday morning, the man claimed the last words Stacey spoke to him were: “Where there is a corpse, the vultures will gather.”

Stacey wrote that same quote, almost verbatim in a letter to another conspiracy theorist before the incident: “Where the dead bodies are, there the vultures will gather.”

It is understood Gareth and Stacey were known to the man as Daniel and Jane - their middle names.

The man claimed to be close friends with the cop killers, having spoken with them after the deadly ambush.

“It breaks my heart that there’s nothing I can do to help them,” he continued.

“These are a people that are not armed as we are in America. And here, my brave brother and sister, a son and daughter of the highest, have done exactly as they are supposed to do.

“We are free people, we are owned by no one … Daniel, Jane, if there is any way possible that you are receiving this comm (communication), I am so sorry that I’m not there to fight with you.

“If you’re already home – our heavenly home, hold a place for us, we’ll be joining you soon enough.”
