Police are beginning to piece together the movements of the Bondi Beach gunmen in the lead-up to the massacre that killed 15 people and injured a further 40.

In court documents made public on Monday, the NSW Police Force's statement of facts shed new light on the hours, days, weeks and months before Sajid and Naveed Akram launched a gun attack targeting families on the first night of Hanukkah on 14 December.

Sajid Akram was killed by police at Bondi, while his 24-year-old son Naveed Akram faces 59 charges, including 15 counts of murder and one count of committing a terrorist act.

Much remains unknown about the incident, but police say there is evidence to suggest the gunmen spent months plotting the attack.
