Donald Day, 58, was arrested in the US after a year-long investigation into his contact with Gareth, Nathaniel and Stacey Train before the trio killed two police officers and a neighbour at their rural Queensland property. Day was sentenced in the US federal court in Arizona on Thursday, after making a deal with prosecutors in October 2025 to plead guilty to a charge of possessing firearms as a convicted felon.

WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump issued a second pardon to a Jan. 6 defendant who had remained behind bars despite the sweeping grant of clemency for Capitol rioters because of a separate conviction for illegally possessing firearms. The decision is the latest example of Trump's willingness to use his constitutional authority to help supporters who once tried to keep him in power despite his loss to President Joe Biden in 2020.

Investigators established direct links between Day with Gareth and Stacey Train, through online posts. The Trains, along with Gareth's brother Nathaniel, murdered Queensland police officers Matthew Arnold and Rachel McCrow, and neighbour Alan Dare at a remote property in Wieambilla in 2022. The Trains were killed in a final shootout with police, after a protracted siege at the regional property.
