The ACT’s chief psychiatrist will review how Alex Ophel was able to attend the ANU campus, where he allegedly stabbed two 20-year-old students.
The decisions of officials within the ACT’s mental health system will be examined as the territory government investigates why accused Australian National University stabber Alex Ophel was able to make his way to the campus before allegedly trying to kill two female students and attacking two men.
ACT Policing Detective Acting Superintendent Stephanie Leonard said on Tuesday that Ophel was known to police before the incident and mental health is a factor in the police investigation. “The man’s movements and how he came to be at ANU are currently the subject of a police investigation,” she said.
