The man who went on a stabbing rampage in a Sydney shopping centre appears to have targeted women, police say.
Joel Cauchi, 40, sent the crowded Westfield Bondi Junction complex into panic on Saturday when he began stabbing people with a long blade.
Five of the six people who died were women. Several others, including a baby girl, were injured.
The New South Wales police commissioner told Australia's ABC News that it was "obvious" Mr Cauchi focused on women.
The only man killed in the attack was security guard Faraz Tahir, 30, who tried to intervene.
The other victims were Jade Young, 47; Pikria Darchia, 55; Dawn Singleton, 25; Ashlee Good, 38; and Yixuan Cheng, who is believed to be in her 20s.

His dad said that his son had a mental illness, had no social skills, and was frustrated with not being able to get a girlfriend. I'm sorry, but that's not an excuse to go around killing people. This is why men should be going to therapy.
Kudos to the policewoman for doing her job correctly.
