Two gunmen opened fire at the famous Sydney beach, killing 15 people, including a 10-year-old girl.
The suspects, a father and son, were inspired by the Islamic State (IS) terrorist organisation, Australian authorities have said.
Sajid Akram, 50, who was shot dead by cops at the scene, and his 24-year-old son Naveed carried out the worst mass shooting in Australia’s recent history.
Naveed was critically injured in the shootout with cops but has since been recovering.
He has been charged with 59 offences, including 15 counts of murder and one count of committing a terrorist act, after waking from a coma on Tuesday.
Among the charges laid against him are 40 counts of wounding with intent to murder, placing an explosive in or near a building, discharging a firearm with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and publicly displaying a terrorist symbol.
He was arrested at the scene of Sunday’s mass shooting and taken to the hospital with critical injuries.
His case was due to be heard in court on Wednesday afternoon.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the attack an “act of pure evil” and one which “deliberately targeted” the Jewish community.
Hundreds of mourners today gathered in grief to bid an emotional farewell to the youngest victim of the ghastly Bondi Beach terror attack.
Matilda, 10, was tragically shot in the stomach in front of her six-year-old sister when two gunmen opened fire at the famous Sydney beach.
Mourners bearing bright bouquets and clutching each other in grief gathered in Sydney‘s Chevra Kadisha Memorial Hall, a Jewish funeral home responsible for customary burial rites.
Others held balloons emblazoned with pictures of bumblebees, a reference to the young girl’s nickname “Matilda Bee”.
