Australian police investigating Bondi Junction shopping center attack – why were only women attacked?

The lone attacker stabbed six people to death and injured many others in a busy Sydney shopping center on Saturday. However, his victims were only women and he avoided men entirely, nbc news reported.

The father of Joel Cauchi, 40, has said his son’s frustration comes from not having a girlfriend.

Fortunately, before he could kill any more people, police shot him dead at the Westfield Bondi Junction shopping center near world-famous Bondi Beach. Law enforcement officials ruled out terrorism and said the attacker had a history of mental illness.

NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said detectives were preparing to interview Couch’s family to understand his motives after CCTV footage showed he was only focused on women.

“The videos speak for themselves, don’t they? It’s certainly an inquiry for us,” Weber said.

Webb added: “This is clearly an area of ​​interest for me, and for detectives, where offenders focus on women and avoid men.”

The attacker’s father, Andrew Couch, explained, “[Cauchi] He wants a girlfriend but he has no social skills and his brain is frustrated” and that’s why he attacks women.
