"The four hostages killed during a siege at a kosher deli in Paris have been named - and include one of the supermarket's workers, who reportedly died trying to protect a toddler from the armed terrorist.

French Jewish organisation Crif has named the four victims as Yohan Cohen, Yohav Hattab, François-Michel Saada and Philippe Braham, adding: "We have no words strong enough to express our pain, our horror

Rap fan Yohan Cohen, aged 23, worked at the HyperCasher kosher market in the Porte de Vincennes.

According to an interview with his family in Israeli media, Yohan had confronted gunman Amedy Coulibaly as he threatened to kill a three-year-old boy during Friday's siege.

He managed to grab the terrorist's weapon but before Yohan had a chance to shoot him, the terrorist put a bullet in his head and killed him on the spot.

Mr Cohen, who was engaged, had posted the message "Je Suis Charlie" on his Facebook page in honour of the victims of the Charlie Hebdo massacre just two days before he died.

According to the SudPress, citing AFP, 22-year-old Yohav Hattab was a student in the city, having moved from Tunisia where his father is the director of a Jewish school.

Retired father-of-two François-Michel Saada, 64, also born in Tunisia, has been described by friends as an "exemplary husband and father".

And Philippe Braham, 45, was a sales executive for an IT company and a practising Jew who attended a synagogue in Montrouge - not far from where Coulibaly had shot a policewoman dead the previous day.

Also a father, Mr Braham was the brother of a rabbi who ran the Synagogue of Pantin in Paris.

Tributes have now been paid to the men on social media, with many urging people "n'oubliez pas" - do not forget - the names of those killed."

It's weird to see those people smiling and being happy on photos, but nowing that they are dead and their life is over now is weird and gives me weird feeling in the stomach
