Lawyers for alleged Bondi beach gunman Naveed Akram have argued the names of his family members should be suppressed due to fears “one or more of them may be killed” after they received death threats.

But legal counsel for media organisations, who are challenging the suppression order request, argued there was no evidence before the court of an imminent risk.
