The grieving mother of murdered woman Celeste Manno has revealed how the justice system failed her daughter, who was stalked and murdered by an obsessed co-worker.
Aggie Di Mauro told 60 Minutes her 23-year-old daughter had done everything she could to stop Luay Nader Sako from harassing her, but it wasn't enough.
In November 2020, the 35-year-old broke into Celeste's home in the middle of the night and murdered her while she slept.
Last week, Justice Jane Dixon sentenced Sako to 36 years behind bars for the 'appalling crime'.

But Ms Di Mauro said it wasn't enough.
'The victim doesn't exist, all of it has been shocking and it's just wrong,' Ms Di Mauro told 60 Minutes.
'There is nothing that is about the victim.'
She claims the criminal justice system has failed her daughter a second time by showing her killer mercy.
Justice Dixon had declined to sentence Sako to a life sentence on February 29 after finding he had significant mental disorders which had impaired his judgement.
Ms Di Mauro said Sako deserved to spend life in prison for brutally cutting her daughter's life so
