The names of five victims who were killed by a knifeman in a rampage at a Sydney shopping centre have been released. Six people were killed in the attack on Saturday and several others were injured, including a nine-month-old baby whose mother was one of the victims.
Five of the victims have since been named as Dawn Singleton , 25, Ashlee Good , 38, Jade Young , 47, Pikria Darchia , 55, and Faraz Tahir . The knifeman behind the attack was named as 40-year-old Joel Cauchi , a surfer and English tutor from Queensland , who was shot dead by officer Amy Scott after he raised a knife to her.
Assistant Commissioner Anthony Cooke said following the incident that Cauchi was “very clearly” suffering from mental health issues. Mr Cooke said: “We know that shortly after coming to Sydney, he took possession of a storage facility that has been identified.“We are continuing to work through the profiling of the offender but very clearly to us at this stage it would appear that this is related to the mental health of the individual involved.
