For many, Saturday is worth looking forward to - relaxing time to enjoy with family and friends. But Elizabeth Young "feared" them. This reminds her daughter of the violent murder of Jade, daughter of Westfield Bondi Junction.

“On a lovely fall afternoon, to learn that your daughter was dead, stabbed during the day, killed in an unsuspecting shopper… (When she) lived, breathed, an hour ago… it was a parallel universe nightmare,” Elizabeth said of the week’s murder question.

"At that moment (the attacker) casually dropped that knife into the jade, and our ordinary life was broken."

The families of other victims echoed her pain, who gave emotional testimony on the last day of the five-week colonial investigation last April 13.

The inquiry attempted to learn about a 40-year-old Queensland man who was busy entering the popular Sydney Mall on a busy Saturday afternoon and killed six people, 10 of whom were injured, including a nine-month-old baby.

The court heard hours of evidence from dozens of witnesses - doctors, survivors, victims' families, police - to see if Australia could prevent such a tragedy from happening again.

"It seems to me that my daughter and five other people were killed by the accumulated number of people in a series of systems that can make mistakes," Elizabeth told the NSW (NSW) Coroner Court.

It was a mild glittering afternoon - the first day of school holidays - Joel Cauchi walked into the sprawling shopping mall, minutes from Australia's most famous beach.

Just before 15:33 local time (GMT), Kuch took a 30-centimeter knife from his backpack and stabbed his first victim, 25-year-old Dawn Singleton.

Within three minutes, he fatally attacked five other people - Yixuan Cheng, 27; Jade Young, 47, Ashlee Good, 38; Faraz Tahir, 30; Pikria Darchia, 55, also injured 10 people, including Goode's baby daughter.

Five minutes after his rampage, Cauchi was shot and killed by police officer Amy Scott, who was on duty nearby and arrived at the center about a minute ago.

As the news outlet reported, Cage’s parents recognized their son on TV and called police to remind them of his decades of fighting severe mental health problems.

Jade Young's family is also facing images of her on TV and describes her "lifeless body is working" in Inquiring about the horror of horror. Similarly, Julie Singleton's daughter Dawn was killed while standing on a line in the bakery, and before her body was officially identified, her daughter was named the victim on the radio and informed other relatives.

Bondi's scene sent shockwaves across the country, where mass murders rarely occur and prompted women to rush outrage and fear. Except for 2 of the 16 victims, both women, including five of the six dead.

One focus of the investigation was to examine Cauchi's multiple interactions with police and mental health professionals in the months and years before the attack.

The investigation learned that Cage was once a smart young man and had a promising life. His family said he was a gifted student and attended a private school with scholarships before attending college.

At the age of 17, Cauchi was diagnosed with schizophrenia and soon started taking his condition.

After a decade of management in the public health system, Kuch held regular meetings with psychiatrist Andrea Boros-Lavack in his hometown of Toowoomba in 2012.

The investigation found that he complained about side effects of the drug in 2015, so Dr. Boros-Lavack began gradually reducing his clozapine dose (schizophrenia used to treat treatment) after seeking a second opinion from another psychiatrist.

She said she was completely weaned from clozapine in 2018 and that Kuch also stopped taking medication to treat his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

In 2019, for the first time in about 15 years, Cauchi no longer uses antipsychotic drugs. She admitted that Dr. Boros-Lavack's advice on Dr. Boros-Lavack's seeking to stop any drug altogether.

The investigation heard from medical professionals, who said that in most cases, patients transition from antipsychotic medication to another, rather than stopping treatment altogether.

Within a few months, Kuch's mother contacted his psychiatrist with concerns about her son's mental state after finding out that she was "under Satan's control." Around the same time, Cauchi developed Dr. Boros-Lavack, who told the investigation was “a forced interest in pornography.” She wrote a prescription but told the investigation it was up to Kuch to decide whether she would take the medication again.

In 2020, Cauchi left his family residence and moved to Brisbane to see Dr. Boros-Lavack again.

At this time, after nearly twenty years of treatment, Kuch did not have regular psychiatrists, no medication to treat his schizophrenia, and no family lived nearby.

The investigation learned that he began seeking a gun permit, contacting three Brisbane doctors to obtain medical certificates to support his application. They either did not ask for access to his medical profile or did not have the entire history awarded to him by Dr. Boros-Lavack, who said they might ask for her if they needed more information. The court was told that a third doctor gave Kuch a pass, but he never applied for a gun.

Meanwhile, Kuch is increasingly in contact with the police. After moving to Brisbane, he was pulled three times for his unstable driving. In 2021, officials were summoned to the Kuch unit in Brisbane after residents heard a man screaming and pounding.

In 2022, Cauchi called a girl’s school and asked if he could see students swim and participate in sports. The officer tried to call Cage but couldn't reach him.

In January 2023, Cauchi returned to Toowoomba with his parents and called police to complain that his father had stole his collection of "pig knife". At this time, his mother raised concerns about the officers, saying he should take the medicine again.

The court heard that authorities were unable to detain people due to mental health reasons and unless they were at risk to themselves, they left when officials assessed that Kuch did not meet this description.

After the summons, a participating police officer sent an email to the internal police mental health coordinator asking them to follow up on Cauchi. However, the email was ignored and the investigation was informed due to insufficient staffing.

Several months later, Sydney police found Kuch sleeping roughly near a road after being summoned by passers-by.

By 2024, Coach's mental health deteriorated and he was homeless and isolated from his family.

The survey looked closely at mental health treatment in Kach, Queensland, and a team of five psychiatrists reviewed it.

They found that Dr. Boros-Lavack missed the opportunity to put him back in antipsychotics, and one member of the group said she "was not taking it seriously enough" Cauchi's mother's concerns in late 2019.

The team also provided evidence in the investigation that Cauchi was the "active part of mental illness" when he walked into the mall.

When questioned by the attorney who assisted the coroner, Dr. Boros-Lavack stressed: “My care for Joel has not failed.”

She told the investigation earlier that she believed Cauchi was not mentally ill in the attack and that the drugs would not stop the tragedy.

Dr. Boros-Lavack said the attacks could be “due to his sexual frustration, pornography and hatred of women, which could be due to his sexual frustration and hatred.”

But the next day, she withdrew the evidence, saying it was just a "conjecture" that she could not assess Cage's mental state and had not treated him since 2019.

However, the survey is to investigate whether Kuch targets a specific individual or group.

For Jade's brother Peter Young, the answer seems clear. He told the inquirer: “Downset because he didn’t find a 'good' girl to marry.

A few days after the attack, the NSW Police Commissioner said it was "obvious" for the perpetrators to focus on women.

But during the investigation, Andrew Paul Marks of the Homicide Squad said he did not believe there was evidence that Cauchi was targeting women specifically.

The inquiry also heard about many ways in which it failed or nearly disappeared, police, paramedics and the media responded to the attack.

Some say the pressure on recruitment and training for safety providers means that the center’s control room operators are not “competent”. At the exact moment when Cauchi stabbed his first victim, the room was left unattended while she was resting in the toilet.

The only male victim stabbed, Faraz Tahir, is killing the first day of his attempt to stop Cauchi, who worked on his first day of work, raising questions about the power and protection of people like him.

His brother Muzafar told the inquiry about Faraz's Death with Hero's Honor and admitted that Cauchi's parents had lost their son: "We know this tragedy is not their fault."

Since then, the contractor responsible for shopping mall security has updated its training and policies and introduced protective vests for protective covers.

After the attack, several families criticized the media coverage and told the inquiry that they hope the industry would reflect on how they should report sensitive stories so as not to further affect the stories.

After weeks of evidence, the investigation was recessed on Thursday, NSW coroner Teresa O'Sullivan is expected to make her recommendations by the end of the year.

At the start of the investigation, O'Sullivan said the hearing was not about who should blame the attack, but about "determining potential opportunities for reform or improvement to avoid such incidents in the future."

“I hope the family knows that their loved ones are not lost in the process.”

However, Elizabeth Young told the court that for her, "nothing good" would come from the investigation.

"I lost my life at the age of 74," she said.

But she said the action the country needs to take is already obvious to her.

“My daughter was murdered by an unmedicated chronic schizophrenia patient whose possession knife was designed for killing.

“(It's) another shout-out to Australia, which doesn't seem to want to admit what happened… is essentially a catastrophic consequence of being ignored and internally over the years.”
