Australian Federal Police Commissioner Krissy Barrett says investigators are reviewing a trove of CCTV footage of alleged Bondi Beach gunmen Sajid and Naveed Akram in the Philippines.
Speaking alongside Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Barrett confirmed the Akrams travelled to the Philippines and stayed in Davao City from November 1 before arriving back in Australia on November 29.
"The initial assessment from the Philippine National Police is that the individuals rarely left their hotel, and there is no evidence to suggest they received training or underwent logistical preparation for their alleged attack," she said.
"What this points to, and I will again advise this is a point-in-time assessment, is that these individuals are alleged to have acted alone."
"There is no evidence to suggest these alleged offenders were part of a broader terrorist cell, or were directed by others to carry out an attack."
However, she said, this did not mean the AFP currently believed the Akrams were in the Philippines "for tourism".
More to come.
