‘We pray you come home to your family safely.’

A 36-year-old man who fled from police over outstanding alleged family violence matters has died at a shopping centre in Melbourne. 

Homicide Squad Detective Inspector Dean Thomas said officers attended a home near the Lynbrook Village shopping centre about 1.10pm today to arrest the man.

"Upon their arrival at the address, the male has noticed the police arrive and he has jumped off a balcony of the apartment he was staying at into the shopping centre grounds and he has run into the shopping centre," he told reporters this afternoon.

Officers followed the man into the shopping centre but lost sight of him.

During a search inside a public toilet block, officers noticed men's footwear inside a female cubicle and forced the door open.

Thomas said the man had injured himself with what appeared to be an edged weapon but was threatening officers so he was tasered.

"He was still holding that weapon and a taser was deployed at that point in time and he was taken into custody," he said.

Thomas said first aid was provided to the man and paramedics were called and took over.

The man was taken to the rear of the shopping centre and was awaiting a helicopter to arrive when he was declared dead.

A critical incident has been declared and homicide detectives are investigating the circumstances around his death, which will receive oversight from the Professional Standards Command.

The coroner has been notified about his death.

Thomas said the man was known to police and had no fixed address. The apartment he was at is believed to belong to the man's friend.

Police are appealing to members of the community who were at the shopping centre around 1.10pm today to come forward.

Anyone with dash cam footage is also urged to contact police.

Police say they are yet to receive the unedited version of the video in which two NSW Health nurses appear to brag about killing Israeli patients.

Earlier today, Israeli influencer Max Veifer published what he says is the full footage, but NSW Police said this afternoon nothing had been directly provided to them.

Some media reported today that Veifer had been unable to send police the footage because the influencer had not been given the correct email details.

"NSW Police provided the correct contact details to the influencer at the centre of this inquiry," police said in a statement.

"Investigators have requested a full and unedited version of the video as part of this investigation.

"Police are aware an extended version has been posted online, however nothing has been directly provided to NSW Police.

"Discussions between NSW Police and the influencer remain open and ongoing."

Police have been seeking the unedited footage as they investigated Ahmad Rashad Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh, the two nurses at Bankstown Hospital who have been stood down over the incident.

"The police are asking me for the unedited version," Veifer wrote on Instagram.

"I have nothing to hide," he said.

"Here it is and if they tell me where to send it I will send it to them."

The version posted by Veifer today began the same as previous versions of the footage but included previously unheard discussions about Veifer's service in the Israeli Defence Forces.

The nurses and Veifer have a heated exchange about the conflict in Gaza.

The rest of the footage had previously been seen.

The footage ends when the nurses appeared to hang up the call.

9News understands emergency services visited Nadir's home last night and took him to hospital for assessment.

Yesterday the NSW Nursing and Midwifery Board today suspended the nurses' registrations, triggering a chain reaction that saw the national nursing body Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) do the same thing.

It means the pair will not be allowed to work in any hospital in Australia effective immediately, regardless of whether the hospital is public or private.

Nadir and Lebdeh were immediately stood down when their comments came to light on Wednesday.

Police swiftly interviewed other staff on shift at the time the video was recorded and seized CCTV from the hospital.

Initial Inquiries have shown that there is no indication of Jewish patients being mistreated at the hospital. 

Speaking on 2GB yesterday morning, Police Commissioner Karen Webb said the investigation would hinge on the full unedited video to be provided by Veifer.

"We need this to be watertight and critical to that is the evidence from the influencer," she said.

She said police had not spoken to either of the nurses seen in the video, but had been in contact with their lawyers.

Neither Nadir nor Lebdeh have been charged with any criminal offences, and Webb said the decision on whether to do so would depend on the evidence gathered.

Nurse offers apology via lawyer

Nadir's lawyer, Mohamad Sakr, issued a public apology on Wednesday and said his client was "very emotional".

"My client sends a very sincere apology to not only that individual but to the Jewish community as a whole," Sakr said.

"He understands what has happened, he's trying to make amends for what has happened.

"He has never appeared before the courts in relation to any criminal matters, he is a person of prior good character it is unfortunate to find himself in a situation like this.

"He is very emotional, I've suggested he seek some treatment.

"He has apologised for the action, for his words."

How did the video appear?

The original video that sparked the investigation was posted by Veifer on TikTok about 3am AEDT on Wednesday.

Veifer has more than 100,000 followers on the platform and often posts videos where he speaks to strangers through the online video chat program Chatruletka.

"The platform pairs people randomly for a video chat, with only a country and gender specified by the user," the eSafety website says. 

"No names, friend lists or conversation histories are stored, so finding people again is purely left to chance."

Their conversation is believed to have been filmed on Tuesday night while the nurses were working at Bankstown Hospital in Sydney's south-west.

The brother of a woman who was killed by her abusive boyfriend says justice has been served after her murderer was jailed for 28 years.

Toby Loughnane, 45, looked up and nodded as he was sentenced in the Victorian Supreme Court today to a minimum of 20 years behind bars for Maryam Hamka's murder.

Hamka's brother Hassan said the family were happy with the outcome and felt like justice had been done after four years of waiting.

"But the justice will never bring Maryam back," he told reporters outside court.

Loughnane claimed the 37-year-old died of a drug overdose in the early hours of April 11, 2021, and his only crime was not calling an ambulance.

But a jury rejected that theory, instead accepting the prosecution's case that Loughnane fatally assaulted Hamka with murderous intent.

Neighbours heard a woman screaming and sobbing from Loughnane's Brighton apartment for hours before the noises stopped about 3am on April 11.

Loughnane then sent two messages to Hamka's friend from her phone at 4.37am.

The killer left Hamka's naked body in a bathtub for days before moving it into his friend's car and scrubbing his apartment clean with bleach.

Loughnane then drove to Cape Schanck in Melbourne's south-east and dumped Hamka's body in a shallow grave.

When police knocked on his door, Loughnane claimed he had not seen his girlfriend and even said it was disgraceful Hamka's family were not helping officers more.

He was arrested and charged with her murder in August 2021.

Loughnane finally told police where Hamka's remains were two years later after his friend implicated him in the murder.

But Loughnane continued to maintain his innocence, claiming his only crime was not calling an ambulance when Hamka overdosed on drugs.

Justice Christopher Beale rejected that story today as he sentenced Loughnane to 28 years behind bars.

He will be eligible for parole after 20 years but has already served nearly four years of pre-sentence detention.

Justice Beale said the murder happened in the context of protracted family violence, which was an aggravating feature.

"The fatal violence you inflicted on her was not an isolated incident," he said on Friday.

Family and friends reported seeing Hamka with bruises during the couple's 15-month relationship, and the 37-year-old disclosed his threats to kill her.

Justice Beale noted the "torrent of highly abusive" text messages and voicemails Loughnane sent Hamka, where he threatened to shoot her, drown her, set her on fire or slice her face off.

"You told her you would make her scream in agony," the judge noted.

"The text messages made for appalling reading."

Loughnane also filmed Hamka while she was drug-affected in the hours before her death and made degrading comments to her, Justice Beale said.

He noted Loughnane had an extensive history family violence against Hamka and other partners, as well as prior convictions for drug offences.

He found Loughnane's prospects for rehabilitation were guarded and there was no evidence of remorse.

"I am not satisfied that you are truly remorseful as opposed to feeling sorry for yourself and those around you," Justice Beale said.

But Loughnane should receive some discount on sentence because he revealed the location of Hamka's body to police, the justice said.

Loughnane will be aged in his 60s before he is eligible for parole.
