The father of Bondi Westfield's attacker Joel Cauchi took five US army combat knives from his mentally ill son last year because he was fearful of being st-bbed.
Andrew Cauchi and wife Michele said at their Toowoomba home on Monday that they were devastated by their son’s st-bbing spree at a Bondi Junction shopping centre on Saturday that killed six people.
Five of the dead were women, with the majority of the injured also female, and police suspect Cauchi was targeting women. He was shot dead by a NSW policewoman.
Cauchi’s father said he had done “everything in my power” to help his son as he struggled with his mental illness.
