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

Five of the six people who died were women. Several others, including a baby girl, were injured.

The New South Wales police commissioner told Australia's ABC News that it was "obvious" Mr Cauchi focused on women.

The only man killed in the attack was security guard Faraz Tahir, 30, who tried to intervene.

How soon before we find out that this person was an avid Andrew Tate listener?

It's horrifying the amount of damage that one troubled individual can cause, and the ripples that this will have across the loved ones of the victims.
