In the days following the attack at Westfield in Bondi Junction, Australians across the country have banded together to share messages of comfort and support for the families of the innocent victims who tragically lost their lives in the senseless attack.
On Saturday, April 13, 40-year-old Joel Cauchi went on a stabbing spree in the crowded Sydney shopping centre, taking the lives of six people in the process, in an event NSW Premier Chris Minns described as "nothing short of horrific", and one that has rocked Australians everywhere as we struggle to come to terms with the injustice of it all.
Here, we remember and pay tribute to the innocent victims who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
ASHLEE GOOD
Ash Good was a 38-year-old account executive and mother to nine-month-old daughter Harriet. Originally from Victoria, the daughter of ex-North Melbourne AFL footballer Kerry Good was described by loved ones as a ray of sunshine and positivity.
In a final act as a selfless and loving mother, Ash managed to hand her baby daughter over to two brothers in a bid to get her to safety after the attacker had senselessly stabbed them both.
