A young man, aged 24, faces a total of 59 charges, including 15 counts of murder and an accusation of committing a terrorist act.

The tragic incident on December 14 at the Chanukah by the Sea event resulted in the deaths of 15 individuals and left over 40 others injured.

During a confrontation with law enforcement, Akram sustained serious injuries, while his father, Sajid, was fatally shot.

Following the incident, the 24-year-old spent nine days recovering in the hospital before being moved to a correctional facility in Sydney.

Reports indicate that he has been kept in solitary confinement within the prison’s hospital unit.

A NSW government said community safety remains a “top priority”.

“Corrective Services NSW takes its responsibility to appropriately manage serious offenders incredibly seriously,” the spokesperson said.

“The High Risk Management Correctional Centre is the most secure prison in the state, and is equipped to accommodate inmates who pose the highest levels of risk.

“We are not able to comment on the specific circumstances of individual inmates.”
