‘They told me Celeste’s death wouldn't be in vain. So far, it has been’: Aggie Di Mauro Pt. 2
6/1/202656 min
What’s been done in the 5 and half years since 23 year old Celeste Manno was brutally murdered in her bedroom by a man she barely knew? According to Celeste’s mum, Aggie Di Mauro, not much.
In part two of Aggie’s chat with Gary, Aggie lays out in forensic detail why the Victorian Government's response to the Victorian Law Reform Commission's 45 stalking recommendations has been nothing but "lip service." Aggie makes a compelling case for the mandatory electronic monitoring of stalkers who breach intervention orders, dismantling every official excuse offered against it, and exposes the dangerous gap in Victoria's justice system where stalking charges are routinely pleaded down to lesser offences.

[upbeat music] The public has had a long-held fascination with detectives. Detectives see a side of life the average person is never exposed to. I spent 34 years as a cop. For 25 of those years, I was catching killers. That's what I did for a living. I was a homicide detective. I'm no longer just interviewing bad guys. Instead, I'm taking the public into the world in which I operated. The guests I talk to each week have amazing stories from all sides of the law. The interviews are raw and honest, just like the people I talk to. Some of the content and language might be confronting. That's because no one who comes into contact with crime is left unchanged. Join me now as I take you into this world. If part one of my conversation with Aggie D'Amoro left you outraged, good. It should have. It was meant to. Aggie is the mother of Celeste, a 23-year-old brutally murdered in her own home by a relentless stalker she hardly knew. In this episode of I Catch Killers, we're gonna talk about what's happened since Celeste's horrific murder, or more accurately, what hasn't happened. Aggie and I also discussed what should be done to prevent this kind of senseless, predictable violence from destroying another family. Now, we make no apologies for what we're calling for. Have a listen, and you tell me if we're wrong. Aggie D'Amoro, welcome back, part two of I Catch Killers.
