A psychiatrist who claimed Joel Cauchi was not psychotic when he stabbed 16 people, killing six, in a Sydney shopping centre has spectacularly withdrawn her comments, calling them “conjecture”.
On Wednesday, the coronial inquest into the attack on 13 April 2024 heard the Queensland doctor, who treated Cauchi from 2012 to 2020, had reconsidered her evidence from the previous day, when she stated Cauchi’s attack was not the result of psychosis but likely due to his sexual frustrations and “hatred towards women”.
