Joel Cauchi’s psychiatrist returns to the next day’s barbecue after claiming “no errors” in treatment of mass killers at Bondy Junction, despite his mother’s serious concerns about his deteriorating mental state

A psychiatrist who treated Joel Cauchi gave intense testimony the day after denying any failures in healing from antipsychotics.

Joel Cauchi, 40, armed himself with a pig’s knife in April 2024 when he fatally stabbed six shoppers and injured 10 people at the junction of Westfield Bondi in Sydney.

The psychiatrist testified about Queensland’s treatment in Tuesday’s investigation of the tragedy, saying Cauchi never had psychosis after helping him stop his antipsychotic drugs (clozapine and alipipalzole), in mid-2019.

“What do you say about your refusal to accept Joel’s advice on April 13 (2024) because you don’t want to accept your own failure to take care of Joel?” asked the attorney who assisted Peggy Dwyer SC.

“I didn’t fail under Joel’s care. I refuse-I have no mistakes,” said the psychiatrist.

Cauchi adolescents were diagnosed with schizophrenia and were successfully treated for twenty years.

After psychiatrists weaned Cauchi in July 2019, his mother Michele contacted the psychiatrist’s private clinic seven times, raising concerns about possible signs of relapse.

These included him leaving notes about Satan’s control around the house, suffering from extreme obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not sleeping well.

The NSW coroner court was told that Kuch also sent an email saying he had become obsessed with porn.

The psychiatrist – who cannot be legally named – said these were considered possible signs of early relapse, but later evaluations found that he was not psychopathic.

Cauchi couldn’t fall asleep because he was watching porn.

The coroner heard that his other symptoms were caused by stressors, including concern that he had discovered a STD after sleeping in a prostitute.

Expert mental evidence presented in the investigation shows that Cauchi was “fancy mentally ill” when attacked at the Bondy junction.

However, psychiatrists rejected this.

She said that if Cauchi experienced symptoms of schizophrenia, because it was something he could not do mentally, he would not be able to organize a stab wound.

“It may have something to do with frustration, sexual frustration, pornography and hatred of women,” she said.

“This is my opinion.”

During the investigation, the head of Andrew Marks, chief inspector of Police Investigation and Reconnaissance Department, said Cauchi did not appear to target women in the attack.

On Tuesday, a psychiatrist told the court that if Kuchi took antipsychotics after July 2019, then if Kuchi took antipsychotics.

She testified that she had never seen Joel “acute discomfort” and showed no signs of “any safety problem”.

The psychiatrist was annoyed by Dr. Dewell’s initial diagnosis in 2012 and told her to “keep on.”

She insisted that she had episode one schizophrenia, not chronic schizophrenia, because he was still asymptomatic while taking the medication.

However, the letter of release of Cauchi of the public system to the court in 2012 seems to contradict this.

It reads: “It seems that Joel may experience some positive symptoms, fluctuations in severity,”

“But Joel denied the symptoms.”

After the psychiatrist moved to Brisbane, he sent Cauchi to his Toowoomba GP, who he said was powerless.

Dr. Dewell suggested she could make a call.

“You could have done that, you just can’t charge for it,” Dr. Dewell said.

The psychiatrist accepted this.

She earlier apologized to the families of victim Cauchi and the people affected by the attack.

Her life and health were also personally affected by the incident, she said.

In early 2020, when Cauchi was completely isolated from psychiatric medical care, Cauchi moved to Brisbane during the pandemic on the 19th.

He ended after his rampage at Westfield Mall in 2024 was shot and killed by NSW Police Inspector Amy Scott.

On Wednesday, psychiatrists will return to the barbecue of the attorney who died in the attack.
