Pakistan, April 26 -- A brother, an uncle and now a national hero, the family of Faraz Tahir say he was much more than a security guard on the day he died. His eldest brother and head of the family, Muzafar Ahmad Tahir, said he was a stranger to most, but gave his blood to protect the public. Tahir was one of the six victims killed at Westfield Bondi Junction on April 13 in a mass stabbing rampage. The 30-year-old refugee was on his first day shift at the complex when Queensland man Joel Cauchi began attacking people.

Tahir had fled persecution in Pakistan before arriving in Australia in 2022, which he intended to be his final home.

He was the only male victim to die in the Bondi Junction attack.
