The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is co-ordinating with other government agencies to “backtrack the activities” of alleged Bondi gunmen Sajid and Naveed Akram.

Palmer Mallari, NBI’s spokesperson, confirmed to the BBC that the father and son travelled to Davao and “potentially nearby areas”.

The NBI is considered the Philippines' equivalent of the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The NBI was modelled after the FBI during its creation in 1936.

The two alleged Bondi gunmen travelled to the Philippines on 1 November and left on 28 November, the country's immigration bureau tells the BBC.

Sajid Akram, 50, travelled using an Indian passport, while his son, Naveed, 24, used an Australian passport, spokesperson Dana Sandoval says.

They declared the southern city of Davao as their final destination in the country and their return flight to Australia was for Sydney, Sandoval says.

Davao is a sprawling metropolis on the east of the Philippines' main southern island, Mindanao. Islamist militants have been known to operate in impoverished parts of central and south-western Mindanao.

Meanwhile, the Philippine military says it could not immediately confirm reports the two had "military-style training" - as had previously been reported - while they were in the country.

Australian police are investigating a trip taken to the Philippines by two alleged gunmen in the month before a deadly shooting at Bondi Beach.

In the last few hours, New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon told the media that the suspects had recently travelled to the Philippines - but the reasons they went ”is under investigation at the moment".

Earlier, the Australian broadcaster ABC News cited security sources as saying the gunmen - named in local media as Sajid and Naveed Akram - travelled to the Philippines to receive "military-style training" in the month before the attack.

Meanwhile, mourners have been gathering at a memorial site on Bondi Beach. Our correspondent at the scene has said it will take some time for the vibrant community to return to the lively beach that makes this place so famous.
