NSW,Police,Attack

A senior police officer has raised doubts on a theory the Westfield Bondi Junction killer was specifically targeting women on the day of the attack that rocked Sydney.

NSW Police source says investigators not convinced about widely suspected theory of knifeman Joel Cauchi who killed six people in Westfield Bondi Junction attack

The deaths of Dawn Singleton, Ashlee Good, Jade Young, Pikria Darchia and Yixuan Cheng led investigators to suspect that women were his focus of his assault.Five women Yixuan Cheng, Pikria Darchia, Jade Young, Dawn Singleton, Ash Good, and Westfield Bondi Junction security guard Faraz Tahir were fatally stabbed one month ago.

Some of the CCTV vision released to news outlets had showed Cauchi - who was diagnosed with schizophrenia - appearing to ignore men similar to his stature. One senior police source suggested they were not convinced about the theory Joel Cauchi was specifically targeting women on the day of the attack. Picture: 9News"That is concerning. I mean it’s obvious to us and the video evidence does show that, so it certainly will be a line of inquiry."
