Accused Bondi Beach shooter's two infuriating requests from his hospital bed - after he allegedly gunned down 15 people over his twisted beliefs
Alleged Bondi Beach mass shooter Naveed Akram made two demands while under police guard from his hospital bed, just days after allegedly killing 15 innocent people. Naveed Akram is accused of opening fire on a Jewish festival celebrating the first night of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach alongside his father, Sajid Akram, on December 14. While being detained at Long Bay Hospital following the attack, which is the worst mass shooting in Australia since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre, Naveed asked to speak with a Muslim chaplain. Reportedly, Sydney-based Muslim chaplain Ahmed Kilani, who works as a private contractor for NSW Corrective Services, agreed to the request. Akram and his father are accused of hanging an Islamic State flag on their vehicle shortly before the alleged shooting.
