MANILA, Philippines — One of the two alleged Bondi Beach shooters visited a gun store during their stay in the Philippines, police said yesterday as they attempted to retrace the pair’s movements. “What we’ve seen is one of them visiting a gun shop,” Davao regional police spokesperson Catherine dela Rey said yesterday, adding later that it was 50-year-old Sajid Akram who had been seen. Police inquiries had also revealed that neither of the men had visited any of the city’s seven gun ranges, he said. The source could not recall any interaction with Sajid Akram, the father. The hotel staff could not determine what the contents of the bags were and whether they brought items from outside.
