showing considerable evidence that a gun fight had occurred. Constable Doyle's horse was located and the saddle bags were found to contain approximately of charcoal that was later identified as burnt human remains, including some personal belongings of Doyle and Dahlke. It became apparent the Kenniffs had burnt the bodies of Doyle and Dahlke with the intention of disposing of their ashes, in an attempt to conceal evidence of the crime. A reward of £1,000 was authorised and a large police manhunt was organised. Three months later, the brothers were captured on 23 June at now-named Arrest Creek, south of Mitchell. Trial The Kenniff brothers were committed for trial to the Supreme Court in Brisbane, for the wilful murder of Constable George Doyle and Albert Dahlke. Doyle's Aboriginal tracker, Sam Johnson, did not see the actual murders, but he testified that he heard shooting and, when he neared the arrest scene, the Kenniffs pursued him, but he escaped.

On 1 January 1903 it was announced that the Executive Council of the Queensland Government had decided that Patrick Kenniff was to be hanged on Monday 12 January, while James Kenniff's sentence was reduced to life imprisonment with hard labour.

Although it was normal practice for prisoners executed at Boggo Road Gaol to be buried in the simplest way in unconsecrated ground in South Brisbane Cemetery, at the request of Kenniff
