Overview

  • Naveed Akram, 24, is charged with terrorism and 15 murders over the December 14 Bondi Beach shooting that also injured about 40, and his father was killed by police at the scene.
  • His initial appearance lasted about five minutes via video as the court dealt with non-publication orders and the handling of victim identities.
  • Defense lawyer Ben Archbold said Akram is being held in very harsh conditions at Goulburn’s supermax prison and has not indicated a plea.
  • Authorities say the attack was inspired by Islamic State ideology and was planned over months without external assistance.
  • Police report that improvised explosive devices recovered did not detonate and two hand-painted ISIS flags were found, with victims including an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor and a 10-year-old girl.
