Bondi Suspect's Mom: 'He's a good boy,' spoke hours before attack

  • Father and son identified as the perpetrators of the deadly Bondi Beach shooting that killed 16 people, including a child.
  • The attack, which occurred near a Hanukkah celebration, is described by authorities as a targeted antisemitic terror attack.
  • The attackers are Sajid Akram (50, killed) and his son Naveed Akram (24, in custody and critical condition).
  • Naveed's mother, Verena, spoke to media, stating her son called her hours before the attack and insisted he was not violent or extremist.
  • The father and son reportedly told family they were going on a fishing trip before the incident.

Why It Matters: It underscores the disbelief of a mother whose son is accused of a terror attack.
