Family of siege gunman's ex-wife angry he was on bail
Family members of the slain ex-wife of the Sydney siege gunman have taken to Facebook to express their anger he was not already in jail.
Police have identified Man Monis as the man who held a number of people hostage during the Martin Place siege which ended early this morning in a burst of gunfire.
Monis was on bail after being charged with being an accessory before and after the fact in the 2013 murder of his ex-wife Noleen Pal, Fairfax reports.
Her brother Talat Khalik reportedly posted a series of comments about Monis on social media.
"Thats systems tere f***d up but im still happy he.died [sic]," he reportedly posted on Facebook.
"F***n lucky tey got u before we did now.rest in hell f****n a**hole [sic]."
Mr Khalik has also uploaded a photo of himself with his sister with the caption: "Noleen miss u".
His mother Momina Khalik also took to Facebook to say Monis should have been in custody.
"y the first place they let him free on the sydney streets they should have let him rot in the jail his a f****n sick animal [sic]," she posted.
Monis and his then-partner were charged with murder after Ms Pal was stabbed multiple times and set alight in a western Sydney unit block.
The pair were bailed in December last year with the Magistrate describing the case as ‘weak’ during the bail application, according to Fairfax.
