In Melboume Man Goes Crazy Stabbing His Gay Brother, Ran Over Others

 Angelo, critically injured after stabbing on the face

A man who allegedly killed five people after driving his car into a crowd reportedly stabbed his brother ‘for being gay’ before the rampage began.

Dimitrious Gargasoulas’s mum, Emily Gargasoulas, said her son knifed his brother Angelo in the face because of his sexuality.

‘Jimmy keeps saying to me, I’m going to kill all gays and p**fters and lesbians,’ she said.

 ‘He’s not the Jimmy I used to know from years back. I don’t want to be known that I’m the mother.’

Angelo Gargasoulas was critically injured and is still in hospital.

The incident led to his brother being chased by police but they called off the pursuit just before the crash in Bourke Street because of the suspect’s alleged dangerous driving.

A three-month-old boy was the fifth person to die after Gargasoulas allegedly drove a car through a lunch-time crowd in Melbourne on Friday.

The newborn died on Saturday and four other people remain in a critical condition in hospital.

A ten-year-old girl, 25-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman died at the scene. A 33-year-old man died in hospital on Friday night.

In total 37 people received treatment as a result of the incident, including suspect Gargasoulas.

Police hope to interview and charge Gargasoulas today.
