'You don't go out and stab someone': Kids plead for answers
The heartbroken children of a Perth father, stabbed in the neck as he took out his bins, have pleaded for anyone with information to come forward.
Andrea Geranis was outside his Lockridge home on Monday night when he was attacked, with his teenage son finding him collapsed in a pool of blood.
“If it wasn’t for my brother, my dad still wouldn’t be alive and for this, I thank my brother,” Mr Geranis’s daughter Shanaya said.
Mr Geranis’ 15-year-old son Brayden told 7 News he heard another man telling his father to go back inside before he saw his father stumble backward and yell out for help.
He then grabbed a towel and tried to stop the bleeding as the family waited for paramedics to arrive.
"(Brayden) just wants his dad home. He doesn’t understand what’s going on, he doesn’t understand why this has happened to our family,” daughter Letiesha Geranis said.
“(My dad) has family, kids. You don’t go out and stab someone. It’s not human.”
Mr Geranis remains in a critical condition in Royal Perth Hospital, with his children pleading for someone to come forward.
“We’re begging you, our family is heartbroken,” Letiesha Geranis said.
The hunt for the attacker continues.
