A coronial inquest has revealed shocking details about the Bondi Junction stabbing attack in Sydney, which left six people dead and 10 injured in just three minutes. Joel Cauchi, 40, the perpetrator, had been diagnosed with schizophrenia but had stopped taking his medication and was homeless at the time of the incident. Cauchi's obsession with knives and history of erratic behavior had raised concerns among his family and police. Alarmingly, no alarm sounded inside the shopping center until after Cauchi was fatally shot by police. The tragedy on April 13 sparked a national conversation about gendered violence in Australia, where mass murders are rare.
