Four of the victims have been named so far as Ashlee Good (38) and Dawn Singleton (25). Ashlee’s baby daughter was also stabbed. Ashlee managed to get help for her child by giving her to a passerby before she succumbed to her injuries. The baby is said to be in a serious but stable condition.

“We encourage you to seek support from family, friends, fellow Club members or to speak to your GP to assist you in processing this tragedy.
The only male victim to be killed in the horrific attack was identified on Sunday afternoon as Faraz Tahir.
The 30-year-old has been remembered by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in a statement as “a dedicated security guard who tragically lost his life while serving the public during this attack”. Some reports say Faraz died while on his first day on the job.
“Faraz Tahir, aged 30, sought refuge in Australia just a year ago, fleeing persecution in his home country of Pakistan,” the statement read.
“He quickly became an integral part of our community, known for his unwavering dedication and kindness. Faraz was not only a valued member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Australia but also actively contributed to the charitable endeavours of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth organisation.
