A Canadian coroner has formally identified all 10 victims who died in a vehicle-ramming attack in Toronto on Monday.

Among them was a single mother, a university science student, a father visiting his son from Jordan, a chef, and an elderly Star Trek fan. 

The victims were aged between 22 and 94 years of age and eight were women and two were men. 

The suspect, Alek Minassian, 25, has been charged with 10 counts of murder.
