Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Bondi Junction Mall stabber, Joel Cauchi, is an aspiring surfer from Queensland and English tutor.
The knife attacker who killed six people in a stabbing spree at a Sydney shopping centre before being shot dead was a 40-year-old man with mental health issues, police have said.
New South Wales Police said they had identified the attacker as Joel Cauchi, of Queensland, and do not think he was motivated by terrorism. The lone knifeman attacked shoppers on Saturday afternoon at the Westfield shopping centre in the suburb of Bondi Junction in eastern Sydney.
Cauchi wrote: ‘Hi, I’m surfing in Bondi this afternoon if anyone wants to meet up there to surf!’.
Joel Cauchi, 40, killed six people and seriously injured nine others, including a nine-month-old baby, during a stabbing at Bondi Junction Westfield on Saturday
The post received a barrage of negative comments shortly after police confirmed Cauchi’s identity on Sunday.
In another post, shared in December 2020 to an outdoor adventure Facebook group for Brisbane residents, Cauchi explained he wanted to meet people who shoot guns
Assistant Commissioner Anthony Cooke said Cauchi is believed to have come to New South Wales last month and that police have spoken to his family, who are co-operating with the investigation. He told a press conference: “As I had said last night, there is still to this point nothing that we have, no information we have received, no evidence we have recovered, no intelligence that we have gathered that would suggest that this was driven by any particular motivation, ideology or otherwise.
