April 15 | 2024 Wakeley church stabbing - An assailant wearing a black jumper entered Christ The Good Shepherd Church at 7pm local time. He then shouted “Allahu Akbar”, and attacked six people with a knife, starting with the bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel whom he approached at the pulpit and then stabbed multiple times in the head and upper body. The weapon was allegedly a switchblade, which is banned in Australia, but the attacker had not opened it fully before jabbing the weapon. In a video released by one of the churchgoers, the 16 year old can be heard speaking Arabic, saying "if he didn't insult my prophet and religion, I wouldn't have come here". He then smiled at the camera. [392][393][394][395] | 0 | 7 |
