Australian True Crime

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. Alan Bond, "Bondy" as he was known by Prime Ministers and Aussie battlers alike, was unlike the other Australia flamboyant billionaires of the 1980s. He and his wife Eileen, whom he called Big Red, built their fortune from nothing in the suburbs of Perth, and they still wore their humble beginnings on their sleeves when they socialised with royalty.Of course, it all came crashing down in those brutal post stock exchange crash days in the early nineties.Bryce and Alec from our favourite millennial finance podcast, Equity Mates Investing, join us again on Australian True Crime to tell us all about it.You can listen to their podcasts "Equity Mates Investing" and "Get Started Investing" wherever you get your podcasts.Visit www.equitymates.com/events to keep up to date with their live events.For Support: Lifeline  on 13 11 1413 YARN on 13 92 76 (24/7 crisis support phone line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples)1800RESPECT: 1800 737 732CREDITS:Host: Meshel Laurie.

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.Links to support Celeste Manno's family:Sign the petition for Mandatory Life Sentences for MurderEvent for Celeste's Ride for Justice Rally (May 26th at Parliament House, Melbourne)Celeste's Ride for Justice Facebook groupJustice for Celeste websiteAustralian True Crime LIVE is coming to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne this July!

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. David Ranson is one of Australia's most experienced forensic pathologists. I wrote a chapter about him in my book CSI I Told You Lies, in which he described traveling to Holland in 2014 to join the International Victim Identification Team after MH17 was shot down over Ukraine. David also worked in victim identification after the Boxing Day tsunami in 2004 and the Black Saturday bushfires in 2009.David has given forensic evidence in some of Australia's biggest criminal cases, including those of serial killer Peter Dupas, the Walsh Street police shootings and countless Melbourne underground murders. These days he's trying to move toward retirement, in his words, and concentrating on teaching, and he joins us on Australian true crime to talk about the kinds of things he's passing on to his students.Australian True Crime LIVE is coming to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne this July!
