Naveed Akram, 24, has been found crying in his isolation cell at Goulburn Supermax prison amid ongoing legal proceedings for his role in a mass shooting in Bondi that resulted in 15 fatalities. Sources indicate that Akram is formulating a defense strategy that shifts blame onto his father, Sajid Akram, who was killed during the attack. Naveed has reportedly spoken to police four times, and investigators believe he is developing a narrative that portrays him as a coerced participant in his father's plans. The attack, which occurred during a Chanukah celebration, involved the use of legally acquired firearms and has been classified as Australia's deadliest mass shooting since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre. Authorities had previously placed Naveed on the National Known Entity Management list due to concerns about his potential involvement in terrorism. The Akrams' motivations are believed to be influenced by extremist ideologies, particularly following the outbreak of the Gaza conflict, with connections to notorious figures like al-Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki noted in their radicalization.
