Bondi Beach shooting witnesses recall running for their lives as attack unfolded
Slovak Consulate
One of the victims was Slovakian, says president
The president of Slovakia has identified one of the victims of yesterday's attacks as a Slovakian woman called Marika.
Peter Pellegrini says on X: "Already yesterday, I unequivocally condemned the brutal, deadly attack on innocent people during the Hanukkah celebrations at Australia’s Bondi Beach and expressed my deep solidarity with a nation plunged into grief and shock.
"Today, that grief has reached Slovakia as well — among the victims of this senseless, violent rampage was a Slovak woman, Marika."
Earlier, local media reported that an 82-year-old, Marika Pogany, had died in the attacks. It's not known if it's the same person.
Pogany was an avid volunteer and a member of the Harbour View Bridge Club, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
"She was a terrific person, excellent bridge player, and an even better friend. Incredibly loyal. I knew her for 40 years," Matt Mullamphy, the bridge club's director, said.
