The mother who died trying to save her baby from a knifeman in a Sydney shopping centre was remembered by family as an ‘‘outstanding human’’, as more victims of the stabbing spree were identified.
Ashlee Good, a 38-year-old osteopath, died in hospital on Saturday evening after she and her daughter were stabbed by a man at Bondi Junction Westfield shopping centre. Her nine-month-old baby remained in a serious condition in hospital on Sunday.
In a statement, Dr Good’s family said that they were ‘‘reeling from the terrible loss of Ashlee, a beautiful mother, daughter, sister, partner, friend, all round outstanding human’’.
‘‘We appreciate the well-wishes and thoughts of members of the Australian public who have expressed an outpouring of love for Ashlee and our baby girl,’’ they said.
Four other women and a male security guard were killed in the rampage. Among the victims named on Sunday morning was Dawn Singleton, a 25-year-old e-commerce assistant who was the daughter of Australian millionaire John Singleton.
