A mother of three and a man who died trying to save other
hostages from an Islamist gunman have been named as the
two victims of the Sydney siege.
Katrina Dawson, 38, a barrister and mother of young
children, and Tori Johnson, the 34-year-old manager of the
Lindt cafe on Martin Place, were killed as police made a
daring attempt to free those still held.
Police confirmed that two hostages and the hostage-taker,
Iraninan-born refugee Man Haron Monis, died and four
others were injured during the operation that brought the
17-hour siege to an end.
The two have been hailed as heroes for trying to save the
others trapped in the cafe. Mr Johnson had tried to wrestle
the shotgun from the 50-year-old self-styled preacher after
he had fallen asleep at around 2am.
Six people managed to flee after gunshots were heard
coming from inside after a struggle between Mr Johnson
and Monis ended in the manager being shot.
