Jerry Sowood, the 27-year-old accused of stabbing a mother and her 10-year-old son in Melbourne’s CBD on Tuesday, has defended his actions from police custody. Sowood stated he “kept his humanity” during the alleged attack, offering no apology or remorse. The incident sparked widespread fear and concern in the city center. Details surrounding the motivation for the stabbing remain unclear, and Sowood has yet to formally enter a plea. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances leading up to the violent event. The mother and child are currently receiving medical treatment, their conditions currently unknown. Sowood’s claim is likely to face scrutiny during legal proceedings.
