The estranged parents of a knife-wielding man behind a murderous Sydney shopping centre rampage contacted police after recognising him in footage of the incident on television. Queenslander Joel Cauchi, 40, stabbed six people to death and seriously wounded 12 others in a killing spree before being shot dead by Inspector Amy Scott at Westfield Bondi Junction on Saturday afternoon.
Bondi mass stabber Joel Cauchi had ‘significant mental health issues’ “At this stage, it will appear related to the mental health of the individual,” NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Anthony Cooke said. As vision emerged of the incident, Cauchi’s family — with whom he only made periodic contact — recognised him and contacted the police.
footage in the hours before the attack showed Cauchi, wearing a black backpack, ordering a meal from a Vietnamese restaurant on Oxford Street. Cauchi had previously set up an online escort profile, which did not feature any explicit images, that described himself as an “athletic good-looking 39-year-old guy”. “Let me gently massage all of your body,” the now-deleted profile read.
