Name suppression for the man responsible for yesterday’s terror attack at a west Auckland supermarket has been revoked, but his name cannot be published yet, with the High Court giving his family at least 24 hours to seek further suppression orders.<\/p>\n

The Sri Lankan national was\u00a0shot dead by police<\/a>\u00a0after stabbing six people inside Countdown in LynnMall.<\/p>\n

Suppression orders prevented details about his identity and background from being made public.<\/p>\n

The Crown filed an urgent application last night to\u00a0have the court orders lifted<\/a>, so details about the man’s identity and background could be made public.<\/p>\n

In a judgment last night, Justice Wylie said there was no longer any proper basis for the suppression orders.<\/p>\n

But he said the man’s family live overseas and lawyers needed time to contact them to take instructions.<\/p>\n

He said he could consider extending the 24 hour period if needed.<\/p>\n

However, it can be revealed the man was sentenced in July to one year of supervision after he was found guilty by a jury in the High Court at Auckland of two charges of possessing Isis propaganda that promoted terrorism.<\/p>\n

He was found guilty of another charge of failing to comply with a search, but he was acquitted of a third charge of possession of objectionable material and a charge of possessing a knife in a public place.<\/p>\n

The Crown had sought to charge him under the Terrorism Suppression Act, but failed after a High Court judge ruled that planning a terror attack was not an offence under the law.<\/p>\n

Because he had already spent three years in custody awaiting trial, he did not receive a further prison term for his offending.<\/p>\n

Despite that, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said he had been\u00a0under surveillance since 2016<\/a>, because of his support for a violent ideology inspired by Islamic State.<\/p>\n

The man was being so closely monitored by a surveillance and tactical team that police shot him within 60 seconds of the attack starting.<\/p>\n
