Investigation centres on pair’s movements outside the GV hotel, where they stayed throughout their time in the country
One of the alleged Bondi beach shooters visited a firearms shop during his visit to the Philippines, local police have revealed as they investigate what the pair did in the weeks before the mass shooting.
Sajid Akram and his son Naveed stayed in a hotel in Davao City for four weeks before returning to Australia on 28 November, only two weeks before they allegedly killed 15 people and wounded dozens of others at a Hanukah celebration in Sydney on Sunday.
Sajid Akram, 50, was shot dead by police at the scene. Naveed Akram, 24, has been charged in Australia with 59 offences, including 15 counts of murder.
“We are now in the process of investigating the movements that these two suspects made while here in the Philippines,” police regional director Leon Victor Rosete told the Guardian.
