A young woman who endured more than a year of relentless stalking was brutally murdered in her sleep after her former colleague broke into her bedroom and stabbed her 23 times, while her mother slept in the next room.
Celeste Manno, 23, was killed in the early hours of 16 November 2020 at her family home in Melbourne by Luay Sako, a man she had worked with briefly at a call centre before he became fixated on her. The attack lasted just two minutes and 39 seconds before Sako fled the scene.
