Hassan Khalif Shire Ali’s relatives have been too distraught to speak but in a handwritten letter have said the 30-year-old was “crying for help” because he was mentally ill.
“He has seen a psychologist and psychiatrist but stopped as his paranoia and hallucinations led him to believe they’re ‘after him’,” his sister wrote in a letter to Nine News.
“Please stop turning this into a political game. This isn’t a guy who has any connections with terrorism but was simply crying for help.”
