The father of Joel Cauchi, who carried out a knife attack on people at a mall in Sydney, has said he is ‘extremely sorry’ for the victims. Andrew Cauchi told reporters: ‘I’m devastated … I love my son. I made myself a servant to my son when I found out he had a mental illness.’ He said his son’s apparent targeting of women could be explained because he had wanted a girlfriend but had ‘no social skills’.
Joel Caughi’s mother, Michelle Cauchi, said her son would have been devastated by his actions had he been in his ‘right mind.’ ‘My heart goes out to the people our son has hurt,’ she said
