Shortcut: The 'Beast' Who Murdered Celeste Manno Will One Day Walk Free

Shortcut: The 'Beast' Who Murdered Celeste Manno Will One Day Walk Free

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

On the night of November 16th, 2020, 23 year old Celeste Manno was stabbed to death in her bed.

The murderer was a man she'd met very briefly at work over a year before who'd been stalking her relentlessly ever since.

Luay Sako, 39, smashed through her bedroom window with a hammer and stabbed Celeste 23 times in two and a half minutes.

By the time her mother, Aggie, was woken by the commotion and made it down the hallway to her daughter's bedroom, it was too late.

Earlier this year, Sako was sentenced to 36 years in prison with a minimum of 30. It came as a great shock and disappointment to Celeste's family and their supporters who'd hoped for a life sentence.

There was further disappointment when the Office of Public Prosecutions announced they would not pursue the option to seek a life sentence on appeal.

Aggie Di Mauro and her son Alessandro Manno are our guests today on Australian True Crime. They're here to share their story with us, but also to tell us about their campaign to change the way our legal system deals not only with stalking but also with sentencing.
