Westfield Bondi Junction stabbing horror: Tragic images show bodies being carried out of the complex

Tragic images from Westfield Bondi Junction show bodies being carried out of the shopping complex, after a lone attacker fatally stabbed six people and injured many more.

Joel Cauchi, 40, entered the Westfield at 3.10pm and again at 3.20, before embarking on a violent rampage across multiple levels of the packed out shopping centre, armed with a knife.

As of Sunday morning, seven people including Mr Cauchi, had died, and about 12 people were in hospital; nine who were taken there from the scene and three who had arrived at medical facilities of their own volition.

Among those in hospital is nine-month-old baby Harriet, whose mother, Ash Good, was killed in the attack.

Dawn Singleton, the daughter of millionaire businessman John Singleton, also lost her life in the attack.

Workers could be seen wheeling bodies, wrapped in a maroon bag, to the front of a long line of white vans, which had arrived to take the victims and their killer, who was fatally shot by police, away.

Their faces were crestfallen as they wheeled the stretchers out of the shopping centre.

The shopping centre will remain closed for the foreseeable future, though arrangements were being made for those who were forced to flee on Saturday, leaving their cars behind.

Acting NSW Premier Penny Sharpe said on morning television Westfield was working with the government.

"It is a crime scene. We've got to make sure every little detail is nailed down," Ms Sharpe said.

There are about 1500 cars locked in the carpark areas. Shoppers were told to leave their cars as the shopping centre went into lockdown.

From 10am NSW time people would be notified about when they could collect their cars, Ms Sharpe said.

NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Anthony Cooke said police would make arrangements "promptly" to tell people when they can retrieve belongings and vehicles from the shopping centre.
