In a distressing incident on Tuesday morning, Amamuddin Sadar, along with two others, became victims of an unprovoked stabbing spree in Merrylands around 10 a.m.
The 38-year-old sought refuge in a stairwell but unfortunately succumbed to his wounds.
“We are in shock and experiencing profound grief,” his sister Meena shared with 9News.
“Our pain is indescribable,” she added.
Masoud and Meena Sadar fondly remembered their brother as a diligent individual who consistently supported his friends, family, and the broader community.
His siblings told 9News their parents are still in Afghanistan and have been hospitalised since hearing the news.
He has since been charged with one count of murder and two counts of causing wounding or grievous bodily harm with intent to murder over the alleged attack.
The second patient, Luke Francis, allegedly absconded from the same facility within days of Leaaetoa’s escape.
He allegedly attacked a nurse before escaping Cumberland Hospital.
The Nurses Union has revealed that despite Cumberland Hospital being set to become one of the largest mental health facilities in the country, it only has three security guards on staff at any time to manage the entire facility.
