“Monis is a 49-year-old man living in southwest Sydney, but is originally from Iran and a self-proclaimed sheik, and also sent hate mail to the families of Australian dead soldiers between 2007 and 2009, according to The Daily Telegraph.
The seige in the Lindt cafe in Martin Place on Monday follows an unsuccessful attempt to have these charges overturned in the High Court on Friday, The Age reported.
Monis received 300 community service hours and a two-year good behaviour bond for the correspondence, which he claims were his version of sympathy cards, sent with the help from his girlfriend Amirah Droudis.
Arriving as a refugee in Australia in 1996, the hostage-taker was charged as an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife - who was allegedly stabbed and set on fire on a flight of stairs in her western Sydney apartment block in November 2013.
The man’s current partner was charged with murder but they both received bail as the case was deemed too weak.”
Typical muslim scumbag. HE should have been sent back to Iran after he killed his wife. Nice way to die, stabbed and then set on fire.
no no no she was “allegedly stabbed and set on fire”
maybe she was smoking a cigarette and tripped and fell on a knife 20 times
“reasonable doubt” ya know
how these barbarians mock us
as they should
This Sheik was just in court Friday, and took the hostages on Monday in Australia, Sunday here.
Isn't that usually code for "same-sex-partner"?
