Ashley Fildes, 34, was shot dead by police after going on a stabbing rampage at South Hedland shopping centre in Western Australia on Friday. The FIFO worker stabbed seven strangers with a large kitchen knife.

The fly-in fly-out worker had an altercation with his supervisor on the morning on the attack. The father of a young girl had also been suffering from a 'deep depression' and his marriage had fallen apart, a relative said.
