Paranoid gunman Ricky Maddison was surprised when he was told he had killed police officer Brett Forte, as negotiators tried at least 85 times to make him surrender and come out from his stronghold.
Sen Const Forte, a father-of-three, was shot and killed on May 29, 2017, during a low-speed pursuit near Toowoomba by Maddison, who had been evading police for weeks.
