Constable Matthew Arnold had his car packed and was ready to visit his family for Christmas when he got called into work.
Sadly, the 26-year-old never made it home. His life, as well as that of fellow office Rachel McCrow, was cut short on December 12, when the pair were shot dead during a seemingly routine missing persons call on a property in Queensland’s Wieambilla.
Hayley Arnold, a triplet to Constable Arnold, said there were “no words” to describe her pain over the loss of her brother.
“One-third of me is gone, and in place is a physical heartbreak pain I’ve had since we received that knock on the door,” The Courier Mail reported Hayley sharing on social media.
“I can’t begin to explain the love and bond we had. As triplets, we were born together and were meant to grow old together.
“The hole in our lives is immense and indescribable. We will love you forever.”
Longtime friends of Rachel McCrow, 29, told the media her loss “will forever be felt by us”.
