Australian detectives suspect the deaths of an elderly couple in their Brisbane home is a “terrorism incident” perpetrated by a knife-wielding man who was shot dead by police, officials said on Friday.
Raghe Abdi, 22, threatened police with a knife before he was shot dead on a highway on the outskirts of Brisbane on Thursday morning, officers said.
The bodies of Maurice Anthill, 87, and his 86-year-old wife Zoe Anthill were found in their home later Thursday near where Abdi died, Queensland state Police Deputy Commissioner Tracy Linford said.
Linfold declined to detail how they had died but homicide detectives had found evidence that Abdi had been in the house, she said.
