The man who murdered six people in a Sydney shopping centre had posted a chilling review on Facebook slamming a knife business for “blunting” his blades.
Cauchi, 40, had left a one star review of the Brisbane-based business, after getting two knives honed which he said had been dulled down. The business owner from whom Cauchi bought the knives - who confirmed the weapons were not used in Saturday’s attacks - told The Australian he came to his workshop three years ago to have the knives sharpened, saying he “told me that he uses them every day in the house”.
The Mirror reports Cauchi had also posted in December 2020 in an outdoor pursuits group wanting to meet up with people “who shoot guns”. Police said he had a previous history of mental health issues, and it’s understood he had previously been diagnosed with schizophrenia, however it’s not been confirmed whether he was experiencing poor mental health at the time of Saturday’s attack
