Six people have died following the mass stabbing at Bondi Junction shopping centre on Saturday - five of them women.
A man who fatally stabbed six people at Westfield Bondi Junction on Saturday avoided men and deliberately targeted women and children, according to police. Five of the six victims killed in the mass stabbing were women and one was a male security guard, prompting media to question NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb on whether the offenders’ actions may have been targeted based on gender.
"Each and every victim here is mourned ... for their loved ones our heart goes out to them." Flags are flying at half-mast across the country in honour of the victims. Three people injured in the attack were discharged from hospital overnight, while another eight continue to receive care in hospitals across Sydney.
