Police say Cauchi, 40, who is from the Brisbane area and had mental health issues, moved to Sydney from Queensland a month ago. There is no suggestion that Cauchi was part of any particular ideology, with police treating the horrific attack as a mental-health related incident. Police are currently searching through a 'very small storage facility' in Sydney that Cauchi rented out shortly after the move. He was reportedly sleeping rough and had no fixed address. Joel Cauchi, 40, has been identified as the mass killer in the Bondi Westfield stabbing spree on Saturday 'We are continuing investigations in relation to him,' Assistant Commissioner Anthony Cooke told reporters on Sunday. 'We are, and have, spoken with his family. We will continue to do so, and they are co-operating with us. 'There is still, to this point … no information we have received, no evidence we have recovered, no intelligence that we have gathered that would suggest that this was driven by any particular motivation - ideology or otherwise. 'We are continuing to work through the profiling of the offender but very clearly to us at this stage it would appear that this is related to the mental health of the individual involved.'
