Today's Highlighted Video Story: The man who fatally stabbed six people in Bondi Junction, Australia had not been taking medication to treat his mental illness, prompting his parents to confiscate his hunting knives, a coroner's court has heard.
The NSW Coroners Court today heard an inquest will examine potential failings in the mental health system both in New South Wales and Queensland in the lead-up to the killings at Westfield shopping centre on April 13.
The court heard it will also examine the adequacy of the shopping centre's security response, including why no alarm sounded inside the centre until after Joel Cauchi had been shot dead by NSW Police Inspector Amy Scott.
The counsel assisting the coroner, Dr Peggy Dwyer SC, today laid out the key issues in a preliminary hearing ahead of an extensive inquest next year.
