Body found after woman, mother freed POLICE last night discovered the body of a man believed to be a gunman who held a mother and daughter hostage for hours in Brisbane. A gunman had held the pair at a home in northern Banyo yesterday for more than five hours while police tried to negotiate. The pair were rescued after a police Special Response Team managed to enter the house through an upstairs bathroom window and found them tied up. As police were still trying to negotiate with the gunman, a drone and a robot were sent to the house, the first time Queensland police have used a drone in an operation. Inspector David Morganti said officers used a remote camera to identify the man's position. "Eventually those remote techniques were successful and we were able to identify that he was in what appeared to be in a state upstairs where he was not moving," he said. He said police entered the house and confirmed the man was dead in an upstairs room. Police had been called to a disturbance at the house just before 11am and saw a man with what they believed was a gun and heard two shots.
