An Australian man, identified as Joel Cauchi, went on a deadly stabbing spree at a busy Sydney shopping mall, leaving six people dead and more than a dozen injured. The incident took place at the Westfield Bondi Junction mall near Bondi Beach. Police have confirmed that Cauchi, who had a history of mental illness, was the assailant and ruled out terrorism as a motive.
The killer's father, Andrew Cauchi, revealed that his son suffered from schizophrenia and attributed the attack on women to his frustration at not having a girlfriend. Andrew Cauchi mentioned that his son lacked social skills and was deeply frustrated. The police are investigating why Joel Cauchi specifically targeted women while mostly avoiding men.
