A NSW Police spokesperson said in a statement he was now being held at a correctional facility.
“Officers attached to traffic and highway patrol, pol air, and the public order and riot squad assisted Corrective Services NSW with the transfer of a 24 year old prisoner from a North Shore hospital to a correctional facility today (Monday 22 December 2025) under Operation Shelter,” the statement said.
The news comes on the same day that Downing Centre Local Court approved the release of bombshell evidence documents that had been suppressed.
In the dossier, which includes mention of a “Bondi attack” as early as October 2025, are extraordinary new photos that capture the alleged movements of the accused, Naveed Akram, 24, and Sajid Akram, 50.
The NSW Joint Counter-Terrorism Team (JCTT), which comprised of members from NSW Police, the Australian Federal Police and ASIO, prepared the fact sheet for the court which details the alleged details leading up to the horrific attack.
It was also revealed that the estranged wife of dead terrorist Sajid Akram claimed the couple were no longer living together before the fatal shooting.
She has reportedly refused to accept possession of the body.
Verena Akram, who resides in the western Sydney suburb of Bonnyrigg, has reportedly signed the body of Akram, 50, over to the NSW Government for a destitute burial.
7NEWS reporter Clementine Cuneo first revealed Verena wanted “nothing to do with” Sajid’s body.
When a body is refused in NSW by family or friends, the Local Health District (LHD) where the death took place becomes responsible for the destitute body.
When a body is deemed destitute, in some instances, a funeral is provided, whilst in others, only a burial or cremation is completed.
Costs arising from a funeral, burial or cremation are then invoiced and paid by the LHD.
