The young girl’s father has been in police custody since the shooting and was charged with possessing an illegal and unregistered firearm and breaching an apprehended domestic violence order following the fatal shooting.
The 43-year-old Arncliffe man made a distraught court as he sobbed and shook during his appearance Friday, screaming out to see his daughter one more time.
Barrister William Barber told media the situation was a ‘tragic of epic proportion’.
‘I have never seen anyone in such a bad way in custody before,’ Mr Barber said.
‘He is absolutely beside himself, he can’t think, he can’t talk and the anguish he exhibits is terrible.’
Mr Barber told the court the 43-year-old hadn’t slept in five days and was consequentially ordered to receive urgent psychiatric assessment.
The man has not applied for bail and remains in custody.
