The niece of a Sydney father killed in the horrific Bondi terrorist attack has described the family’s “unimaginable” pain caused by his “sudden and violent” loss on Sunday.

Boris Tetleroyd is one of 15 innocent people who was killed at the world famous-beach on the weekend.

Mr Tetleroyd’s niece Leia Roitour has started a GoFundMe page, which has already raised more than $35,000, to support his widow and son.

His son was injured in the attack and remains in hospital.

“He was the primary provider for his wife, who is now facing life as a widow.

“We are deeply grateful for the compassion, prayers and support already shown. Thank you for standing with our family during this unimaginable time.”

Mr Tetleroyd was one of many victims, shot at the Chanukah By The Sea event, to be identified in recent days.

Ten-year-old Matilda was the youngest of 16 casualties from the callous attack.

A further 22 people remain in hospitals across Sydney receiving treatment for their injuries.
