The news of an interment follows a report in The Daily Telegraph on Friday in which some Muslim leaders had called for the murderer’s body to be dumped at sea.

Sydney’s chief Islamic ­funeral director declared last week that no Muslim funeral home would accept the body and authorities should just dump his corpse at sea or “chuck him in the bloody shithouse”.

The 50-year-old killer’s body remains in the city morgue and is awaiting an ­autopsy. His body will be ­released before Christmas.

A SOLICITOR who once acted for Sydney siege terrorist Man Haron Monis said he was outraged by his conduct and sacked him immediately after a brief hearing in 2009.

Chris Murphy has distanced himself from the killer, whom he represented during a one-off bail variation over allegations of sending offensive letters to veterans’ families.

“I spent 10 minutes taking instructions from Haron Monis then crossed the road and made his application,” Mr Murphy wrote in a statement. “In 2009 no one could have foreseen the path that Haron Monis followed. In 2009 he was a political advocate sprucing peace.

“It is a tragedy beyond belief that had brought his name back into my life.” Mr Murphy said he refused any contact with Monis after he started ranting to the media outside court with an Australian flag and banner. “I was outraged by his conduct. I walked away and refused to ever speak to him again. I sacked him as a client on the spot,” Mr Murphy said. “I said ‘you are gone!’.”
