I think they mean that, because he was there to commit violence to someone else and just killed whoever happened to be in the house, it's not a good example of gendered violence against women since he probably would have killed a man who answered the door too (not walk away without killing anyone).

I'd say that it's actually a pretty good example though since, he was trying to find his ex-wife. Presumably to kill her. So an example of a violent man targeting a woman and then killing other women instead... It's something that's been in Australian news a lot lately with the recent protests following a depressingly large number of women killed by their partners so far this year.
