NSW Premier Chris Minns has advised that the state government will hold a special coronial inquiry into Joel Cauchi’s knife attack at Westfield Bondi Junction. The government will allocate up to $18m in extra funding for the inquiry, which amongst other things will examine the police response to the attack. Meanwhile, NSW police will travel to Queensland to talk to Cauchi’s family and friends as they seek to determine his motive for the attack. Minns says the motive might never be known, although he notes that Cauchi seems to have targeted women. Cauchi killed five women and one man, while eight of the 12 people who suffered stab wounds are still in hospital.

New South Wales police and legal experts warn that the person responsible for a fatal fire in the Sydney suburb of Rozelle could be jailed for murder. An accelerant was used to start the blaze on 4 September 2014, which claimed the lives of three people in a unit above the shop where the fire was started. Dr David Hamer of the University of Sydney says that the arsonist could be charged with murder even if they did not intend to kill anyone
