Wieambilla inquest to hear from Alan Dare’s wife, Kerry, about the horror ambush

An inquest into the deaths of two police officers and a neighbour in a religiously motivated ******* ******* at a rural Queensland property continues in the Coroners Court in Brisbane.

Kerry Dare, the widow of Alan Dare, is expected to give evidence on Wednesday alongside Victor Lewis, the neighbour who was with Mr Dare at the time of his ******.

Queensland Police constables Matthew Arnold, 26, and Rachel McCrow, 29, along with Mr Dare, 58, were ******* in an ambush at a property outside Chinchilla on December 12 last year.

The three shooters – Nathaniel, Gareth and Stacey Train – were later ******* in a lengthy shootout with police that night.

Police have said the trio followed the fundamentalist religion “premillennialism”, believing ****** ******* would return to Earth after a ******* of extreme suffering.

Mr and Mrs Dare had spotted smoke billowing from the Train property and called triple-0 at 5.13pm.

Moments later, Mr Dare got in his car and drove to the property to see if he could help.

Frantic footage filmed on his phone shows Mr Dare arriving at the spot where – unbeknown to him – a police car had been set on *****.

He tells another neighbour, Mr Lewis, who also arrived at the scene, to not “get too close” as the ***** is “still going off”.

“What the ***** is in that?” Mr Dare says.

“I’m going to stay away Vic.”

Moments later, he spots a car “driving off”.

“There’s a car coming,” Mr Dare tells Mr Lewis.

“There’s a car over there, and there’s someone at the door.

“Woah, someone just got out that car, Vic.

“Someone just got out of that other car, they walked off.”

The video played before the court is paused seconds before Mr Dare was fatally shot.

The inquest was told Mr Lewis quickly left the scene to call for help.

Investigators were unable to determine who fired the fatal shot that ******* Mr Dare.
