An eerie silence greeted shoppers as they returned to a major Sydney shopping centre for the first time since it became the site of a stabbing massacre. Bondi Junction local Stephen Roy had a simple phrase for the suburb’s normally buzzing Westfield shopping centre as it reopened to trade on Friday: “Really quiet”.

Eerie feeling’: Shoppers return to Bondi Junction Westfield after massacre. “A few of the shops are shut - maybe it’s just some of the employees don’t want to come back,” he said from the mall’s fifth level, where a police officer shot dead Joel Cauchi and ended his deadly rampage. Roy was one of hundreds of shoppers who returned to the scene on Friday as the centre reopened for business nearly a week after Australia’s worst mass killing in recent years.
