Hostages Called Media With Gunman's Demands

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 16 Desember 2014 | 14.59

The mother of a hostage who was trapped in the Sydney cafe where a man was brandishing what appeared to be a pump-action shotgun, has told how she got a text message from her son.

Speaking to a radio station in Australia, she said: "My heart just dropped… and I sent back a text message and said what's going on, are you okay? And he just sent me back a message saying 'I'm okay mum, can't talk.'

"And… left it at that and I haven't heard anything since then."

Many of the hostages were forced to use social media to relay the gunman's list of demands, and others called news outlets with the requests.

Channel 9 reporter Mark Burrows told Sky News he took a call from two female hostages, one who stayed calm and asked him to contact her husband, and a second who sounded panicked.

He said: "They were replaying the gunman's demands so I could hear him talking and then the ladies were relaying those demands to me."

He added: "One woman was remarkably calm and cool. She said she'd had food and water and she was relatively okay.

"She asked me to pass on a message to her husband and I called him and said I can't believe your partner is so relaxed and calm in all this and he said 'Well, she's like that, she's calm in a crisis'.
