A coroner’s court has heard that it took just three minutes for homeless and mentally unwell man Joel Cauchi to fatally stab six people and injure 10 more in a frenzied attack in a Bondi Junction shopping centre on 13 April.
On Tuesday morning, the New South Wales state coroner heard Cauchi, 40, who grew up in Toowoomba in Queensland, had been sleeping rough in Maroubra on the morning of the attack, which ended when he was shot and killed by police inspector Amy Scott.
