Killer's parents share a message for cop who shot their son dead

The family of Bondi Westfield killer Joel Cauchi, 40, have revealed they have 'no issue' with the police officer who shot dead their son.

NSW Police Inspector Amy Scott gunned Cauchi down, bringing an end to his rampage that killed six innocent people and left more in hospital.

The killer's parents have released a statement saying they are 'absoluted devastated' by their son's actions and have no problem with Inspector Scott's decision to pull the trigger.

'We are in contact with both the New South Wales Police Force and Queensland Police Service and have no issues with the Police Officer who shot our son as she was only doing her job to protect others and we hope she is coping alright,' the statement from the Cauchi family read.

They condemned their son's actions, describig them as 'truly horrific' and confirming that he has suffered from mental health problems from a young age.

'Joel’s actions were truly horrific, and we are still trying to comprehend what has happened,' they said.

'He has battled with mental health issues since he was a teenager.'

They added: 'Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of the victims and those still undergoing treatment at this time.'
