His target ...Women

THE Sydney shopping mall killer deliberately targeted women on his stabbing rampage, say police.

Joel Cauchi noticeably avoided men as he made his way through the centre carrying a large blade.

The 40-year-old killer's dad Andrew revealed: "He wanted a girlfriend and he's got no social skills and he was frustrated out of his brain." The only man killed was security guard Faraz Tahir, 30, who had tried to intervene on his first shift at Westfield shopping centre at Bondi Junction.

The other five victims were women.
