No motive found yet for killer shot dead after stabbing 6 people to death at Sydney mall

Police blocking the main roads leading to the Westfield Bondi Junction shopping mall after a stabbing incident in Sydney on April 13.SYDNEY – Police in Sydney are yet to uncover the motive of a mass murderer who went on a stabbing spree at a shopping mall on April 13,The attack began at around 3.20pm when a man armed with a knife started stabbing people at the Westfield mall in Bondi Junction, a well-known shopping centre that is close to the popular Bondi beach.

She was later hailed as a “hero” by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who said she had prevented further deaths. Police said the attacker had apparently been acting alone, and that closed-circuit television footage showed him entering the mall at 3.10pm and leaving shortly thereafter, before returning again.The victims included a mother, who was killed, and her nine-month-old baby, who was taken to hospital after being stabbed in the stomach.“It looked quite random, he was just running around with his knife,” the witness said.

But the attack in Bondi Junction, about 6km from the central business district, brought instant fear that reverberated across the city. It also revived memories of a siege at a cafe in the city centre in 2014 by a crazed gunman who killed two people before being shot by police. “We understand that the Australian public will be very shocked by this event... The motives are not known yet. And speculation on that would not be helpful at this time.”NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb told reporters the man had not yet been formally identified, but was known to police.“If, in fact, it is the person we think it is... it’s not a terrorism incident.”
