Bondi Beach terror suspect Naveed Akram, 24, has been charged with 59 offences, including 15 counts of murder, wounding with intent to murder, committing a terrorist act, and placing explosives near a building, following a deadly attack on a Hanukkah celebration on Dec. 14.
His father, Sajid Akram, 50, who was shot by police during the incident, died at the scene.
Naveed Akram, hospitalised in critical condition after being shot, woke from a coma on Dec. 16 under police guard.
NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said authorities waited to charge him to ensure he had the cognitive ability to understand the proceedings.
Police discovered two homemade ISIS flags in the vehicle used by the father and son, and investigations revealed the pair traveled to the Philippines last month, reportedly undergoing military-style training in Mindanao, a region long affected by Islamist insurgency.
