Sydney massacre: Naveed Akram faces 59 charges, including 15 for murder

Naveed Akram, the perpetrator who survived Sunday's Bondi Beach massacre in Sydney, has been charged with 59 criminal offences, including 15 counts of murder and one of committing a terrorist act, according to New South Wales Police.

The other gunman, his father Sajid Akram, 50, was killed in a shootout with police at the scene.

Fifteen people were killed and dozens more injured in the attack, which targeted Australia's Jewish community at an event to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah.

This is considered the deadliest attack in the country since 1996.
