Vigils were held a day after two armed men killed 15 people at a Jewish Hanukkah celebration on Sunday.
At least 40 people remain in hospital following the attack, including two police officers who are in a serious but stable condition, police said. They said the shooting suspects are a father-son duo.
Here is what we know about the victims and the shooting suspects.
A primary school student, 10-year-old Matilda, died on Sunday night, her aunt confirmed on social media.
In a statement posted on Facebook, the Harmony Russian School of Sydney said Matilda was a former student. “We honor her life and the time she spent as part of our school family,” the post said.
In local media reports, she has been described as a “bright, joyful, and spirited child who brought light to those around her”.
