The Brisbane Magistrates Court heard on Monday that the charges against Anthony O'Donohue have been suspended while he undergoes involuntary mental health assessment.
During today’s court proceedings, dozens of supporters gathered outside Brisbane Magistrates Court to hear the outcome.
"'Til late, we're not sure about the outcome," said one of the supporters present outside the court room.
Anthony O'Donohue, 48, who is charged with killing Manmeet Alisher at a Moorooka bus stop has been in custody since October 2016.
O'Donohue’s charges, including the 14 counts of attempted murder, had earlier been referred to a mental health callover despite protests from his lawyer Ms Sarah Lynch during the first hearing.
Police alleged that O'Donohue boarded a bus in the city's south at Beaudesert Rd at Moorooka, Brisbane on October 28 and threw an "incendiary device" on driver Manmeet Alisher leaving him no chance to survive.
On Saturday 29th October, O'Donohue’s lawyer Adam Magill told media that he had concerns for his client’s mental health as he was feeling "numb" and trying to come to terms with what happened.
29-year-old Manmeet was popular within the Punjabi community in Australia as a singer and showbiz promoter.
Manmeet’s death prompted strong concerns within Indian-Australian community who took to social media to ask for rigorous punishment to the accused.
