The father-and-son duo alleged to have gunned down 15 people on Australia's Bondi Beach this week barely left their hotel rooms during a nearly month-long stay in the southern Philippines, hotel staff told Agence France-Presse on Dec. 18, 2025.
Sajid Akram and his son Naveed entered the Philippines on Nov. 1, 2025, with Davao City in the restive Mindanao region listed as their final destination, immigration officials confirmed earlier this week.
The two men checked into room 315 of the GV Hotel the same day, according to a night desk manager, paying P930 (about US$16) per night for the small room with two single beds.
