Man shot dead by Queensland police on Logan Motorway previously investigated by counter-terrorism taskforce

(ABC-Australia) Queensland police say a man shot dead by officers on the Logan Motorway may be linked to the alleged murder of a man and woman on Brisbane’s southside on Thursday.

Raghe Mohamed Abdi, 22, was previously investigated by a counter-terrorism taskforce, but his lawyer says police are “setting out to paint a person they’ve shot and killed in the worst possible light.”

He was being monitored by a GPS tracking device and was armed with a knife when police fatally shot the Calamvale man.

Officers arrived at the scene at Drewvale on Brisbane’s southern outskirts at 6:00am on Thursday after reports from the public of someone walking on the road.
