Families seek fast inquest into Bondi stabbing deaths as Singleton criticizes inquiry

Families of victims from the Bondi Junction stabbing attack are seeking a swift inquest into the deaths, but opinions are divided, particularly from John Singleton, whose daughter Dawn was killed. Singleton has publicly criticized the upcoming coronial inquiry, labeling it a 'waste of time' and expressing concern that it will cause further distress for the victims' families by revisiting traumatic events. The inquest, set to begin on April 28, will investigate various factors surrounding the attack, including Cauchi's mental health and the response of emergency services. Singleton argues against the need for graphic evidence to be presented, fearing it would only exacerbate the pain. The inquest aims to explore potential preventative measures for future tragedies, but Singleton questions the necessity and utility of the inquiry. His emotional testimony reflects the profound personal impact of the tragedy and the complexities of grief among affected families.
