December 18, 2025 11:10Two further victims who were killed as a result of the Sydney terror attack have been named by their families.
Boris Tetleroyd, whose son remains in hospital, and Adam Smyth died after gunmen opened fire on Bondi Beach on Sunday evening as families gathered to celebrate the first night of Chanukah.
Tetleroyd, who was Jewish, was killed at the beach, while his son sustained serious injuries his niece, Leia Roitour said.
Fifty-year-old Smyth, who was not Jewish, was a father of four, and was walking along the beach with his wife when the terrorists unleashed their attack, targeting the “Chanukah on the Beach” event.
Fifteen people have died as a result of the attack, with 13 publicly named so far.
Writing on a Go Fund Me page set up following Tetleroyd’s death, his niece said: “"Our family is grieving the sudden and violent loss of a beloved husband and father in the Bondi attack.
Of her uncle, she said: "He was the primary provider for his wife, who is now facing life as a widow, and the father of a son who was injured in the same attack and is currently recovering in hospital."
The fundraiser is intended to help cover medical expenses and immediate living costs as Tetleroyd’s wife “navigates this sudden loss”.
Smyth's family has also released a statement, which describes how he and his wife Katrina had been "living their best lives together" when he was killed.
A passionate sports fan, the "loves of his life" included Liverpool FC, Australian Football League team Sydney Swans and the Manly Sea Eagles in the National Rugby League.
"We are all trying to come to terms with the senseless shooting, of which Adam was a victim. No words can describe the pain of our loss," his family said.
"You'll never walk alone (YNWA)," they added, referencing to the Liverpool FC anthem heard before kick-off at every home game.
