The New South Wales Coroner's Court heard on Tuesday that Cauchi, 40, was knife-obsessed and had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, but had come off his medication and was homeless at the time of the incident.

The inquiry also heard that no alarm sounded inside the centre until after Cauchi had been shot dead by police.

The incident on 13 April devastated Australia, where mass murder is rare, and prompted a national conversation about gendered violence.

All up, 14 of the 16 people stabbed that day were female - including five of the six who were killed, and a nine-month-old baby. The NSW police commissioner said at the time that it was "obvious" Cauchi had targeted women.
