00:00
Today, we're expecting to hear from Constable Randall Kirk, who was one of two police officers
00:06
to survive that deadly ambush at a Wianbilla property in mid-December 2022.
00:12
It's expected he'll take the stand and give a first-hand account of what transpired that
00:17
day when alleged religious extremist Gareth, Stacey and Nathaniel Train shot dead two of
00:23
his colleagues, Matthew Arnold and Rachel McCrow.
00:27
The Trains also shot dead their neighbour, Alan Dare.
00:30
Yesterday the inquest gained some insight into what transpired when the four police
00:34
officers went to the property for a routine missing persons check.
00:39
Body camera vision from the police officers shows that Kirk and his colleague, Keely Brough,
00:45
were able to flee to nearby bushland when the trio started shooting at them.
00:51
Kirk was then able to sprint to a nearby police vehicle, despite having been shot in the hip
00:57
and he also was able to call a colleague and explain what was happening as the incident
01:02
unfolded.
01:03
Now, today we're also expecting to hear from a detective who compiled a brief of evidence
01:09
about the circumstances around the deaths that day before the inquest.
01:13
And overall, the hearings are expected to run for about five weeks, with around 70 people
01:19
expected to give evidence.
