A coroner's court has heard that it took just three minutes for homeless and mentally unwell man Joel Cauchi to fatally stab six people and injure 10 more in a frenzied attack in a Bondi Junction shopping centre in April.

Cauchi, 40, killed six people on Saturday 13 April before he was shot and killed by police inspector Amy Scott.
