A 77-second delay in response to a security alert may have contributed to the death of Pikria Darchia during a 2024 stabbing at Westfield Bondi Junction, where six were killed.
A 77-second delay between a security guard’s alert and the stabbing of 55-year-old Pikria Darchia during a 2024 stabbing rampage at Westfield Bondi Junction may have contributed to her death, according to counsel at the inquest.
The attack, carried out by Joel Cauchi, 40, who was experiencing acute psychotic symptoms, left six dead and multiple others injured before he was shot by police.
The inquest is reviewing security response, emergency services’ actions, and Cauchi’s mental health care, including conflicting statements from his psychiatrist, Andrea Boros-Lavack, who initially claimed he was not unwell but later admitted care deficiencies.
Families are calling for disciplinary action, and the inquest has recommended a shift toward preventative mental health care.
Emergency responders were praised for their bravery.
