Faces of the victims: Heroic Sydney cafe manager, 34, shot dead as he grabbed terrorist's gun to protect hostages - and the brilliant young barrister and mother of three who died after the siege ended

The 34-year-old manager of the Lindt cafe, Tori Johnson, and mother of three Katrina Dawson, 38, have been named as the two hostages killed during the Sydney siege on Tuesday morning. Four others have been injured, including a woman with serious gunshot wounds to the leg. The Muslim gunman identified as self-styled Iranian Sheik Man Haron Monis, 50 (inset), was also shot dead after police burst into the Martin Place cafe at 2.11am Tuesday and opened fire. One of the hostages was reportedly shot by the terrorist, while another tragically died from a heart attack later in hospital. Gunfire and bursts of light could be seen as they stormed the Lindt Chocolate Cafe in Martin Place. Minutes before police stormed the cafe, seven hostages managed to escape 17 hours after the siege began. Man Haron Monis was described as a self-styled sheik from Iran who arrived in Australia in 1996. He is on bail for being an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife, allegedly carried out by his current partner. Monis also faces 50 charges of indecent and sexual assault during his time as a 'spiritual healer'. He also appeared in court for sending hate-filled letters to the families of soldiers killed in Afghanistan.
