Willetton stabbing: CCTV of ‘radicalised’ teen lunging at cops before he was shot dead

Confourishing images have surfaced from a ‘radicalized’ teenager who is killed on the police with a knife before being shot – while the boy’s last message is revealed to his friends.

The camera images of a nearby Korean restaurant show how the 16-year-old boy chased a police car on Saturday evening when he ran a parking space in Willetton in Perth.

WA Police were called to the car park outside Bunnings just after 10pm following reports the teenager had stabbed a man he did not know in the back.

Camera images showed that the police confronted and surrounded the teenager as they beg him to drop the weapon.

The teenager was seen while he was a short distance from about four police officers while blue and red lights flashed from the soaked parking space.

He was in vain by two agents, before he fell out on a third, who shot him deadly.

Earlier in the evening the teenager had warned friends that he ‘walked the path of the Jihad’.

The message, which was sent to different people on social media, led to a wave of phone calls to the police about the boys’ deeds. West-Australia reported.

‘Brothers, please forgive me for every time I have done you wrong. Tonight I’m going on the path of the Jihad for the sake of Allah, “wrote the boy.

“I am a soldier of the mujahideen of Al-Qaeda and I take responsibility for the actions that will take place tonight.”

The message is littered with praise for Allah.

“If you have illegal jihadist issues online or in real life, make sure you hide it well and your technology, such as laptops and telephones, including search history in …, since the police will probably look at my contacts,” wrote he. .

‘I love you all.

‘Please do not forget me and the mujahideen in your duat (the hereafter).’

The message ended with ‘it is not necessary to respond to this text’.

The director of the teenager’s former high school warned parents to be wary of ‘wrong information or inappropriate comments’.

An email was sent to parents on Sunday afternoon with support afterwards The news came that a student from the school had been shot by the police.

The director also urged parents to ensure that their children do not come together to discuss the test and express their feelings without a responsible adult being present.

WA police commissioner Col Blanch said that the teenager did not comply with the rules and hurried to the agents to ask them to use their tasers before the third agent even fired one shot.

The teenager had called the police at 10.10 pm without identifying himself to say that he was going to ‘commit violence’ before hung up the phone.

The police said that the teenager was one of the ‘three of the four’ participants in an official deradicalization program for those who have exhibited behavior since 2022 that may be religious or motivated.

Commissioner Blanch said the boy was known to police, had mental health problems and appeared to have been radicalized online.

“Members of the WA-Muslim community contacted the police just before the incident and also called Triple-0 with their concerns,” he said.

“I want to thank the members of the Muslim community who did that, because we could quickly identify who this person was and could respond as quickly as we,” he said.

The imam of the largest mosque in Perth, the Nasir-Moskee, Imam Syed Wadood Janud, condemned the attack in the most powerful terms.

“The entire community is shocked and we are all concerned about the online radicalization of the perpetrators, to which early reports refer,” he said.

“There is no room for violence in Islam. We appreciate the efforts of the police to keep our communities safe. I also want to give my compliments to the local Muslim community that the person previously indicated to the police. ”

The teenager had reportedly converted to Islam.

Commissioner Blanch said that the incident had the ‘characteristics’ of a terrorist incident, but would not label ‘at this stage’ as such.

“I believe this is a person acting alone. At the moment I do not need extra capacity as long as it meets the criteria, or in any case the definition, “said Commissioner Blanch.

“It would be too early for me to take action now, because I don’t have the concerns of a broader network that might be involved in this stage.”

WA Premier Roger Cook said there was evidence the boy had been radicalized online.

Since 2022, the 16-year-old boy was previously involved in a program to combat violent extremism, with the support of psychologists and religious leaders.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that intelligence and security officials did not believe that there was a constant threat.

“I received a briefing about the situation by the director-general of Asio and the AFP commissioner, and I have learned that there is no continuous threat to the community based on the available information,” he said.

“We are a peace-loving nation and there is no place for violent extremism in Australia.”

A man in the thirty, who was found nearby with a stab wound and a flat lung, reportedly left a 24-hour fitness room in the complex at the time of the attack.

He was treated on site by St John Ambulance WA and transported to the Royal Perth Hospital, where he is in a serious but stable state.
