Bondi, Sydney attack: Victim Ashlee Good's baby discharged from hospital

  • 21/04/2024

The baby of a woman killed in Sydney's mall stabbing attack just over a week ago has been discharged from hospital.

Ashlee Good died saving her nine-month-old, who was also wounded in the attack.

She was among six killed on April 13 at Bondi Junction Westfield. 

The attacker, 40-year-old Joel Cauchi, was also shot dead by police in the shopping centre when he lunged at an officer.

Others injured in the rampage are still receiving hospital care.

However, NSW Health Minister Ryan Park gave a welcome update on the baby girl's health on Sunday, saying she's been discharged from hospital.

"In a positive development, I can confirm the child who has been receiving care at Sydney Children's Hospital following last weekend's tragic events at Bondi Junction has been discharged home," he said in a statement published by news.com.au

"She continues to receive care from the expert clinicians at Sydney Children's Hospital."

The good news comes after the baby's condition improved from critical to serious earlier in the week. 

A candlelight vigil to honour the victims, organised by the state government and Waverley Council, was taking place at Dolphin Court at Bondi Beach on Sunday evening.
