Mr Akram returned to court on Monday where prosecutors applied for a suppression order over details in court documents.

In court, media representatives were approved access to a redacted set of police facts, meaning further details of the horrific attack can now be shared with the public.

Mr Akram woke from a coma on Tuesday and was formally charged by police the next day in his hospital bed.

Akram, of Bonnyrigg, has been hit with 59 charges including one count of committing a terrorist act, 15 counts of murder and 40 counts of cause wounding/grievous bodily harm with intention to murder.

He has also been charged with single counts of discharge a firearm intending to cause grievous bodily harm, cause public display of a prohibited terrorist symbol and place explosive in/near building with intent cause harm.

He will next return to court in April.

More to come.
