Police investigating a "terrorism event" were yesterday examining whether the knife Raghe Abdi wielded at police had been used to murder an elderly couple in their home.
The 22-year-old student was killed by police early on Thursday after they approached him on the Logan Motorway following reports he was walking among traffic.
Dashboard video footage provided to the media yesterday showed several seconds of Abdi walking backwards as two police officers attempted to coax him to safety.
