Major update after nine-month-old baby girl brutally stabbed in horror Westfield Bondi Junction massacre
The nine-month-old baby girl who was stabbed by crazy knifeman Joel Cauchi has been moved from intensive care.
Osteopath Ms Good, 38, was shopping with her nine-month-old child, Harriet, on Saturday afternoon when Joel Cauchi, 40, stabbed them both with a 30cm hunting knife.
One of Ms Good’s last acts before she later died in hospital was to thrust Harriet into the arms of strangers, begging them to ‘please help, help’.
Two brothers, using clothes from the Tommy Hilfiger store, stopped the baby’s bleeding before she was taken to hospital for emergency surgery.
Baby Harriet was monitored in the intensive care unit, but on Tuesday evening she was discharged to a normal ward at the hospital.

That morning, NSW Health Minister Ryan Park revealed Harriet’s condition had improved.
“Gladly, we have seen the nine-month-old baby at Randwick Children’s Hospital have his condition downgraded from critical to serious,” Park told the ABC.
‘We hope to have her on a ward in the next few days.’
Earlier on Tuesday, some of Ms Good’s heartbroken family members and close friends visited the sea of flowers, messages and teddy bears left at the makeshift memorial outside Westfield Bondi Junction.
A relative, wearing dark glasses and holding a stuffed toy, was comforted by high-profile defamation lawyer Rebekah Giles, who was a close friend of Ashlee and had been with her moments before the stabbing.
She had left the scene but ran back after news of the stabbing spread, only to discover her close friend was among the victims.

Ms Giles most recently represented former Spotlight producer Taylor Auerbach, the man responsible for sensationally opening Bruce Lehrmann’s defamation case.
The outpouring of public grief for Mrs Good has prompted generous Australians to donate over $460,000 to a fundraiser for her partner, Dan, and their baby, Harriet.
“Ashe was a ray of sunshine and positivity in every aspect of her life and died a hero saving her little girl from the most unspeakable evil,” GoFundMe organizer Steven Foxwell wrote.
Ms Good’s father was former North Melbourne AFL player and board member Kerry Good.
She was remembered by her family as a ‘beautiful mother, daughter, sister, partner, friend’ and an ‘all round outstanding human being’.
Mrs Good was one of six victims of crazed knifeman Cauchi, who was later shot dead by a female police officer.
Advertising heiress Dawn Singleton, 25, architect Jade Young, 47, artist Pikria Darchia, 55, security guard Faraz Tahir, 30, and Chinese student Yixuan Cheng, 27, died at the scene.
