A knife-wielding man who killed six people in a Sydney shopping centre before being shot dead has been identified by Australian police.

Joel Cauchi, 40, sent the crowded Westfield Bondi Junction complex into panic on Saturday when he began stabbing people with a long blade.

Five women and a man died. Several others, including a baby, were injured.

Authorities said the attack was most likely "related to the mental health" of Mr Cauchi.

Asked whether she believes he was targeting women, New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb told reporters on Sunday it would be "an obvious line of inquiry".

But she added she would not describe the stabbings as an "act of terror", reiterating that police believed there was "no ideological motivation".

Mr Cauchi was previously known to police but had never been arrested or charged in his home state Queensland. He had lived itinerantly for several years and was first diagnosed with a mental illness at 17, Queensland Police said.

His family described his actions as "horrific" and said he had had mental health issues "since he was a teenager", in a statement released through Queensland Police.

The Cauchi family said: "We are absolutely devastated by the traumatic events that occurred in Sydney yesterday.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of the victims and those still undergoing treatment at this time.

"Joel's actions were truly horrific, and we are still trying to comprehend what has happened."

They added they were in touch with police and had "no issues" with the officer who shot Mr Cauchi.

"She was only doing her job to protect others, and we hope she is coping alright."

Initial searches of a small storage unit Mr Cauchi owned in Sydney had not shed light on a possible motive, NSW Police said.

Joel Cauchi is not African and he's not a Muslim. If he were, they would have plastered their headlines with "Muslim man this" and "African migrant that" but he's white, so they say he has mental illness.

But now that he is a White Christian man, they are saying there's no "ideological motive" because presumably, he needs to be a Muslim or African to have an ideological motive. If he were a Muslim, they would've started mentioning Islam as if he did it because of religion and not because he's just being nasty.

And if he were an African migrant, that will even be worse. They will use it to support their removal of Africans and blacks from Australia and justify denying us visas because according to them, we are wild animals that need to be tamed.

This clearly is a clear case of the anti-African and anti-Islamic posture being spread by western media.

Clownmaster botragelad 🤡 and his flying circus are hiding under their beds hoping this thread never makes frontpage. The same botragelad posted this news on Nairaland, insinuating it was done by a Muslim Arab man even when the news never reported such.

He's still reeling in pains from the retaliatory attacks that Iran coordinated against Israel yesterday after Israel bombed Iran's embassy.

Botragelad, why are you not posting about Iran's disciplinary action against Israel. What's wrong? 😂

Oh so it's no longer a terrorist attack. It's only after an assailant is identified that we're able to conclude if the attack was terrorist, gang violence or from a depressed individual with mental health issues due to a traumatized childhood.

See the hypocrisy: They don't believe it is an act of terror. Why? Yes of course the suspect is a christian man. They wont call him christian terrorist. If the suspect were to bear a muslim name they would have filled the air waves with name calling. Hallelujah! Allah is Great!

Mental issues!

May we not lose our precious lives to an unfortunate fellow with mental issues.

A traumatised childhood terrorist, as opposed to a Muslim terrorist if he was a Muslim.



Sadankata to foreign news media.

If any black or Africans want to do such he should do it in his home country and if any Islamic jihadist want to do such, they should do it in Muslim dominated countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia, why must you travel out to another country and commit crime and you still want them not to lebel ur country evil, They have every right to cover it because it thier citizen, just the way you guys cover up evil in the North and only cry out loud when it's start burning same north, they might just be learning from you

Lol lolz no mind them

Bixekkep:

Senseless nairalanders were blaming Muslims.

Thank you.

This is a valid submission. In addition to that, if he had had a Muslim or African friend, a manhunt would have been launched for them too.

He is white and a Christian...so, he cannot be a terrorist.

Such hypocrisy!

Things are really happening on this planet earth. May God protect us.
If it's not village people, it will be religious fanatics. Now mentally unstable people have added themselves to the list of dangerous people on this earth.

Some people hatred against particular religion or tribe ehn na top notch .. anyway glad he is white

But he is mentally disturbed, now when an act that only mentally disturbed people can do becomes a norm for a sect of people from a particular religion,to the extent that when its done, everyone is almost sure its them... what does that tell you?

Christian Terrorist
