Another woman, found dead inside an apartment building on the same street.
“All the information we have links it to these two crimes,” Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said at a news conference.
He said the suspect was alone in these attacks, and had a history of mental health problems.
He was known for the police, but his “criminal history was incomparably smaller than the gravity of the crimes he's committed today”.
The police commissioner said the suspect had some terrorism-related ideologies, but had no visible links to other terrorist organisations.

Mr. Fuller said the stab is not currently classified as a terrorist incident, but it will be re-evaluated as the investigation continues.
People rushed toward him, with chairs they had taken at the bars in town, and managed to neutralise him, blocking him at the bottom with them and with a plastic bottle holder of milk.
The incident took place around 2:00 local time (04:00 GMT) on Tuesday near Clarence St and King St, a busy area in the city's centre.
Video footage shows that the suspect was riding on a car and threatened to carry a knife in his hand and screaming “Aqbarah Akbar” and “shoot me”, after another man is thrown in chairs.
Police said the suspect had stabbed a 41-year-old woman on his back before being neutralised.
