Naveed Akram: Alleged Bondi Gunmen's Family Have Received Death Threats
The accused shooter’s family has faced death threats, harassment, and vandalism since the Bondi Beach attack that killed 15 people, raising safety concerns in court.
- On Tuesday, Naveed Akram applied to suppress his relatives' names at the Downing Centre Local Court via videolink from Goulburn Supermax, with judgment reserved until April 2.
- Akram's mother, brother and sister say they faced death threats, vandalism, eggs and pork chops thrown at their home, and Akram's driver's licence circulated online soon after the attack.
- The court heard Naveed Akram faces nearly 60 charges including 15 counts of murder and terrorism over the Chanukah By The Sea event that killed 15 people, including a 10-year-old girl.
- Media lawyers argued many details are already public and suppression would be ineffective, with Matthew Lewis SC saying, 'Relevantly here, there is no evidence of an imminent risk'.
- The defence argued a non-publication order would reduce further threats against Akram's mother, brother and sister, warning of catastrophic risk and mental harm despite earlier publications.
