The man who killed six people in a knife attack at a shopping centre in Sydney was known to police, but had not been arrested or charged before he committed the attack on Saturday.
The Sydney knife attacker who killed six people at a shopping centre had suffered mental health issues since he was a teenager, his family said.
The lone knifeman attacked shoppers on yesterday afternoon and police said they do not think the attack was motivated by terrorism. Mr Lowe said the attacker's family has co-operated with police and had sent a message to the New South Wales Police"with respect to support the police officer who has killed their son and are expressing their concerns for her welfare".New South Wales Police are investigating the man, who moved to Sydney a month before the attack, hiring a"very small" storage container in Sydney which police have"worked through".
The 25-year-old daughter of Australian businessman John Singleton, Dawn, has been named as one of the victims by various media outlets. Two of the victims are from overseas and police are attempting to contact their families.
