A sad end for 6 innocent people, you have to wonder why ? The bloke was a nutcase with mental problems and as plough said
"Maybe he should have had at the very least more intervention from authorities to prevent his downward spiral devastatingly impacting others ?"
So sad for the victims families. RIP
I do wonder why men were so thin on the ground, surely a couple could have confronted him and taken him out. I guess in Bondi there aren't too many real men who would put their lives on the line.
Disturbing final Facebook posts of Bondi Junction knifeman - and his dangerous obsession
Just six days before the attack, Joel Cauchi, 40, invited Sydneysiders to join him for a surf at Bondi Beach in a post shared to a Facebook group for beginner surfers.
Cauchi wrote: 'Hi I am surfing Bondi this afternoon if anyone wants to meet there for a surf!'.
The post received a barrage of negative reactions moments 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 with people who shoot guns.
'Hi I am looking for groups of people who shoot guns, including handguns, to meet up with, chat with and get to know. Please send me DM if you can help me out! I live in Brisbane by the way,' Cauchi wrote.
The 40-year-old is understood to have been obsessed with knives.
His parents, who live at Toowoomba in Queensland, took knives away from their son before he moved to NSW.
Cauchi used a knife to kill six innocent people before he was shot dead by NSW Police.
Bondi knifeman's escort past revealed: Joel Cauchi offered 'closed door' services to both men and women
Joel Cauchi, 40, worked as a male escort and offered his sexual services online as recently as mid 2023.
In one post, which has since been deleted, he described himself as 'athletic good looking'.
He offered 'closed door' services to both men and women, among other options too graphic to publish.
His services were published on websites including Australia Cracker, Empire Escorts and Escorts Australia.
All websites allow users to upload their own pictures and solicit their own sexual services.
