Sydney (Australia) (AFP) - One of the two hostages who died in a 16-hour siege at a Sydney cafe in December was killed by ricochets of a police bullet or bullets, an inquest into the deadly stand-off heard Thursday.
Barrister and mother-of-three Katrina Dawson, 38, was killed along with cafe manager Tori Johnson, 34, and gunman Iranian-born Man Haron Monis when police stormed the cafe in Sydney's financial district.
"Ms Dawson was struck by six fragments of a police bullet or bullets which ricocheted from hard surfaces into her body," counsel assisting the coronial inquest, Jeremy Gormly, said.
The inquest confirmed that Johnson was killed by the gunman.
