Police believe killer Joel Cauchi was 'targeting women' after fatally stabbing six people in a horror rampage at Westfield Bondi Junction. … The 40-year-old's motives have yet to be confirmed, but a police source claims investigators believe Cauchi was 'definitely targeting women'.

The source explained police had viewed extensive footage of Cauchi's movements throughout the shopping centre and observed him selecting his victims.

'I don't think there's any other way to look at it,' the source told the Daily Telegraph.

'You can see on the footage he walks past other people. He just keeps moving past them and then attacks a woman.' … He was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 17, and it's understood he has a history of being obsessed with knives.

While living with his parents in Toowoomba, south-east Queensland, they became so worried about his fixation that they took his knives away from him. … Police are currently searching through a 'very small storage facility' in Sydney that Cauchi rented out shortly after his move from Brisbane to Sydney.

He was reportedly sleeping rough and had no fixed address.

Schizophrenic and into knives but free and homeless. Pretty much sums up how the western world treats the dangerously insane these days.

It will be known among criminologists as the Cauchi distribution.

How long did it take for an armed police officer to arrive and stop the killing? The Aussies have disarmed themselves making them sheep for slaughter even by a knife wielding nut. Could an armed citizen or even an armed security guard saved even a few of these lives?

Closing mental asylums has led to such crime - and cruel neglect of the mentally ill themselves.
