It’s a bittersweet truth: the very best of police detective work is likely to be born out of the very worst of mankind. It’s certainly the case when it comes to the investigation into the death of Cecilia Haddad. She was a young Brazilian woman who’d been living in Australia, working as a mining executive, for a number of years.
In 2018 she was murdered by a jealous ex-boyfriend, Marcelo Santoro. He was also from Brazil and it's where he fled to immediately after killing Cecilia. Santoro might have thought by escaping Australia he'd gotten away with his terrible crime, but he was wrong. On assignment for 60 MINUTES, Nine’s Christine Ahern reports that Santoro didn’t count on the determination of New South Wales police officers to bring him to justice.

I'm appalled by the volume of women who are stalked, harassed and murdered by men. It happens way too often. 🤬
I agree , its like an epidemic ... way more woman killed by men than the other way around ..hard to feel safe around males because you never know which one of them will snap and kill .-( I dont trust men at all .. being abused by a pedophile as a kid I already dont rust males .. the murder statistics on women killed by men doesn't help
Women do it too!! Watch 'Snapped'
And thats why I have more sympathy for women who try to even the score.
@@PaganPunk statistically Men kill more ...facts !!!
@@PaganPunkof course, but not nearly as much as men do. That's the point
The police dragged the river for 3 weeks to find a car key suspected of being thrown out a window and found it! Wow, cheers to the men and women in Blue, well done!
Acter the fact
Thank you 60 minutes Australia for leaving comments open. It makes a huge difference for us watching. ❤
Im so glad you interviewed (and they met) Christine Byrd. Her empathy is palpable. The world needs more people like her.
The emergency call brought tears to my eyes. She’s obviously traumatized. She’s absolutely right about the sick feeling for the young girls family 😢
That lady will surely have PTSD for years to come
She will suffer from PTSD and the nightmares. For the sake of Cecilia the right and caring people found her.
@@ginnypurdey1a
The caller was clearly so empathetic. She sounds like a lovely person.
How did he kill her ? Chocked?
As a Brazilian, I wanna thank you the Australian police for the hard working on this case. Cecilia Rest In Peace !
No Brasil todos os dias esses casos , agressões mulheres emachismo , em todas as classes sociais
Amen 🙏🇧🇷♥️
@@marcelolopes8984 Na America tambem 😢

What does being Brazilian have to do with anything? 😂
The love Cecille's friends have for her is breathtaking. Beautiful people.
My goodness, I am watching this while fighting back tears. These friends are wonderful women and I immediately noticed the compassion in the woman that was calling for help when she was found. Three wonderful women bonding over such a horrific loss.
This made me cry. But the reality is that not even a police order can stop people like this.
Made me cry too. What amazing friends and lovely woman who found her. RIP.
😢Me too..
Maybe, maybe not but not doing anything is wrong.
A gun would've
How did he kill her ? Choked?
Having been a victim myself (survived having been shot 7 times) you don't imagine that this can happen to you. It is unimaginable to a normal person. He shot himself with the last bullet in his head. The police officer who questioned me afterwards said that that was good otherwise I would never have been left in peace. 40 years on, went on to become an alpiniste and a successful pt. Had a great partner, sadly now deceased, who gave me back my trust.
You're a survivor. I'm glad you got out of that situation. It can't imagine the lifelong trauma.
😳So glad you made it!! Would love to hear your story!!💜
I am so pleased that you received the grace to live your life and be happy - I realize a person, and nothing else, is ever the same again, but you still found "normality" and happiness and purpose after. May the Lord bless you till the end of your days.
❤❤❤
@@lynngreyling7660 Thank you. I was a pr superintendent at a clinic for neuroligically handicapped patients, none of the from birth. When they visited me in hospital, with beer and trockenfleisch, I said to myself: If they can do it, so can I...so I did.
I know we shouldn't judge people by their looks but this bastard's face really reflects his personality. Rest in peace beautiful Cecilia.
Looks like a total creep
I agree
As much as i hate what that guy did, his appearance shouldn't factor in what sort of personality he has. If anything looking at how he presented himself he should've been real lucky Cecilia even looked his way at all, she was WAY outta his league surely.
It really is saddening that people with such insecurities and issues that he has that he was never able to fully face them internally and learn to deal with those issues before even entertain the likleyhood of a relationship instead of going into one and have those insecurities interfere well into the course of that relationship. People of either gender should be well adjusted before they consider entering into a relationship.
She gave this sociopath a smile and he latched on to her like a blood sucking rat! His aura was so dark and heavy that when he saw this beacon of light he couldn’t let her go! Bad soul and spirit!
Ladies, if you break up with a man and he still comes around despite you telling him not to, FILE A POLICE REPORT for stalking! Please!
That in some cases makes no difference, if he is determined enough no court order will stop that, it's happened too many times despite court orders, sad to say😢
The work the police did is simply amazing. I remember watching a documentary on conditions inside Brazilian prisons. Cecilia's murderer will suffer. The wonderful lady who found her body, and the great friends who tried to protect her, are such loving and caring women.
RIP Cecelia❤
Heartbreaking documentary Elizabeth. Her TRUE friends ..... amazing.
I actually think it worked for the best that Brazil did not extradite him because prisons in Brazil are hell, he would have been treated better in an Australian prison. So, let him rot in that he'll.
@@OwlsEyelash Let's hope prison justice will prevail
He will not suffer, Brazilian prisons are full of men that killed their women. He will be out in 5 or 6. 27 years does not mean 27 years in prison here. Only child molesters, rapists and people who kill their parents suffer here. He will have intimate visitors every week, probably get married while locked up, and live his life. This is Brazilian prison culture.
That’s great when people are too afraid to dispense justice that they joyfully count on the criminals themselves to do it due to the inhumane living conditions they force the criminals to endure. That makes us better people than if we stood up to defend the concept of justice for the public and provided humane living conditions for the incarcerated. 😂
To say stalkers are dangerous is an understatement. They rob a person of their security and safety. For me they are one of the lowest lifeforms on the planet. Their goal is to control an individuals life and destroy it.
Some partners do it from within the family home. You don't need to be an outsider to stalk someone . There are all types of control . RIP to this beautiful lady.
They aren’t stalkers they are terrorist and should be treated as such🤬
@@dolorestroeller4734
Usually, the word “terrorist” is applied to people who belong to organized groups with an ideological goal they all want to achieve.
But patriarchal murderers (men who feel entitled to control, attack, murder their female girlfriends and spouses) I think could be seen as belonging to a larger ideological group.
They are both stalkers and terrorists - the stalking is the behaviour, the terror one of the emotions felt by their victims.
Cecilia had empathy for him, not wanting him to be in jail or have a record. Sadly, we cannot have any empathy for people who take away our privacy and safety. I know, I've gone through a similar experience. She was too young to know this much and lost her life. It's a horrific crime and it could be any one of us if we are not careful.
@@Vrin137 Exactly that's the problem. We need to Love ourselves just a little bit more and put ourselves First even if we have Empathy for the other person. Edit
I've gone through it too. I Live in the United Kingdom and I wish they allowed us to carry guns for protection.
What lovely compassionate friends and the lady who found her body 😭
Mrs Baird who found the body was reminded of her daughters. Poor lady. Rest in peace and rise in glory Cecilia.
Excellent police work. My heart goes out to Cecilia's relatives and the lady who called the emergency services. Such a warm hearted, very caring lady.
The rancid creep's sentence is too short.
That 911 call was so sad
It really was. I cried along with her 😭😭
The 000 call you mean .this is an Australian show .
That call clearly shows that the caller was so traumatized by the scene, i wish the lady who call the the police recovered from the tragic.
As a father to a young daughter this story truly breaks my heart and had me in tears. Our deepest thoughts and prayers go out to her family but most importantly, to her specials friends who loved her so much! Much love from the US and Colombia!
The unification of the 2 friends and the woman who found Cecelia, oh my God. In such tragedy, the love, communication and connection brought me to tears. Humanity can be so disgusting, and so beautiful (though shown here in terrible circumstances). I wish Police (worldwide) did and could do more for DV. Even when they are involved, abusers don't care about a warning or a piece of paper. More needs to be done. Rest in Peace Cecelia.
This is truly a CCTV era... Nobody escapes.... What an innovation.
It's like beeing in the matrix 😎
What really sucks, is that NOTHING will be done until a crime has been committed as it is! The justice system has always failed the victims until an actual fatal incident occurred. Laws need to change DRASTICALLY unless we keep watching these sad episodes.
It is changing thankfully. I had to report someone to the police. I worried it would not be taken seriously. They did and it could have saved my life.
I had a stalker, an ugly israeli from a town modiin. amir forshmit. He made my life a nightmare, I ended up with a burnout and a mess. There were threats, blackmails, silent phonecalls, phonecalls all night night long, he showed me once that the bullets in his gun were real. He was a body guard, protecting israeli groups. We changed a house, he got my new address. It felt like walking in a grey cloud, danger around the corner. Back then I didn't know that was a criminal deed. I felt confused, scared and also sorry for him. He must have "loved me" so much. Now I know it had nothing to do with anything kind and loving, just an ugly jerk full of complexes who could not respect 'no'. Awful awful people, they are real thieves of joy.
It happened to me when I was in my late 30s a few years ago in the UK. My ex went as far as bugging my flat. I left London for Brighton and he found me through the electoral register. He almost killed me. Police did not take stalking seriously at the time. I left the UK and went under the radar, living off grid on a boat in the Bahamas for about 3 years before returning. I'm 50, and the experience left me traumatised and I have never dated anyone since. I never married nor had children. But I'm okay and thank god I was able to escape and live a relatively fulfilling life.
But she never reported it. There was nothing that could have been done if they didn't know about it.
@@kdnick8584true she never reported...... Sad may she rip
Stalking is a serious crime. It terrifies not only the victims but their friends and family as well for weeks, months, sometimes years, even if they don't end up getting murdered. What makes any man think that he has the right to do this is beyond me. Cecilia didn't report him because she didn't want him to have a record. This should teach all other victims a lesson. Go into hiding if you have to but DO NOT INTERACT with your stalker. EVER!
Christine's personality is so heart-warming. To see how much she cares is wonderful.
💯💯
You’re victim blaming. A stalker won’t stop until he gains control. And that’s usually means ending the life he can’t control. A victim could do a million things differently and will STILL end up dead.
@@simonaxlz Interesting definition of victim blaming. When a stalker can't find his victim he will eventually move on, so hiding is one heck of a lot better than staying where you are and hoping for a miracle.
So heartwarming to see how much her friends loved her. I am sure she knows. God bless them all.
Amen 🌹
27years in prison, what a joke☹️😲
@francisssali2550, This monster's REAL penalty begins the moment that he draws his final breath. Then, he'll BURN FOREVER IN THE FIRES OF HELL, where he will SUFFER unimaginable PAIN in the lake of fire!
The bigger joke is that he may not do all that time.
In Germany he would have gotten 10 at the most.
You can also get away with rape if you just follow a few "rules"
Germany is so fucked up when it comes to the judicial system.
He will be out in 9 years or so . Brasil 🇧🇷 where I was born is very corrupt
Prepare yourself: he won't serve 10 years. Human rights activists and lawyers will give parole soon. He will be out,working and having a good life. BRAZILIAN LAW SYSTEM IS A JOKE. SUZANNE RICHTHOFEN who killed her parents is already walking free. She got paroled and so did the two other killers who helped her kill her mother and her father. Isn't life wonderful for criminals today? It is democracy. Democracy loves criminals. In the time of the empire, they would be caught and hanged. Today, they just walk free. Wait and see the news very soon. Santoro will be free and laughing about all this trial.
😢😢😢😢😢 my heart breaks every time I hear a women was killed by a jealous ex in which early signs were there.
This is so heartbreaking! I just lost one of my longest standing friends 2 days ago to her husband by a gun....their son was there and witnessed it all....the amount of heartbreak and pain by losing a loved one to what is pure evil is awful......no matter what kind of justice is given it will never be enough!!! My heart goes out to Cecilias family and friends....i am so sorry this had happened to her! May she forever R.I.P.
My deepest condolences 🙏🏼
When the reporter said: "You’re not to blame for her death, there’s only one person to blame" someone started peeling onions. How nice to have a real human reporter. I’m all for objectivity, especially around politics, but sometimes it’s nice to know reporters aren’t machines.
May Cecilia rest in peace. Domestic violence needs to end now.
There shouldn’t be this idea that people intervene when is too late.
Domestic violence leaves hints for the victims relatives, friend, even police. The complaints should be address and the perpetrators monitor more closely. So they never get a chance to harm anyone.
Imagine being such a good and loyal friend that you blame yourself for not calling the cops 😢 Everyone needs that kinda love and support in their lives
😅
@@muffinman12549There is almost nothing funny about this post or thread. What do you think is funny?
@@cacampbell3654
Actually NOTHING is funny about this story. AT ALL.
Support that came too late.
@@vlm5723That's not fair. Responsibility really can't be placed on the friends here. Sometimes when a stalker is so determined and psycho, there's no stopping them. Furthermore she out of misplaced compassion gave him a ride to the airport which gave him an opportunity to kill her. I think he would have done it anyway and I certainly don't blame her, but her friends are absolutely not even one bit responsible for this.
I hope Carol and Rita will live on and accept no blame. If Cecilia didn't understand the depth of her ex, they certainly would not know.
I am saddened by the number of woman who won’t believe men will be violent when it happens all the time.
Amazing police work - so impressive in every way
💯
A woman that cared about others. Didn't call the authorities so he wouldn't get in trouble. Thinking she really knew him. I have been there, but making it. She was taken early. Love and blessings to friends and family from Memphis Tennessee USA 🐈🐾
Trust yourself, best wishes.
This is absolutely heartbreaking. One can see that Cecilia is such a lovely person. The guy is a total lowlife.
This is why CCTV cameras are so crucial to any case...He is an evil monster and deserved the death sentence
Sick of these men murdering women, even with police protection, they are not safe
Do you know what possession me off, that people keep repeating that quote "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". Really? How about men who are scorned? Or, "women are emotional ". What about men? This guy got very emotional indeed, to the point of extreme obsession.
So many men are trash, there I wrote it. Every single day there is a story like this. Their fragile over inflated ridiculous egos can't even accept a woman doesn't even want them.
Men murder much more. Statistic.
Femizid...
It was the police work for me to ensure the conviction (finding the keys, was divine intervention)- kudos! Condolences to the friends and family.
I appreciate the dedication and expertise of the police divers. They are the best.
Yes, the police there went above and beyond! Not like that were I live in the U.S. They'll talk to the person and that's about it. They did manage to keep my stalker off my property though, so they threatened him somehow over that.
@@helentaylor7132 Besides competency, the laws of the land also determine how much the police can and cannot do, but I think most police departments are willing to go to the stalker and issue warnings. I'm glad you are ok. This particular story is nothing short of a nightmare.
Don't credit "divine intervention" with all the work these police officers put in.
I’ll never understand why people can’t move on when a relationship ends. The person doesn’t want you. Taking their life won’t change that. Now they’re deceased they still don’t want you. 🤷🏾♀️ REST IN PEACE CECILIA. 🙏🏾♥️🙏🏾♥️
I will never understand either. I am a person who has been stalked and these questions persist in my mind over and over. Move. On. *sheesh* Go. Away.
love kills -Queen
It’s not about love, is about power. Some body like this man needs control of the victim. Once they lose it, they need to regain that power stalking and terrorizing the victim. It’s something like “ if I can’t have you nobody can’t”.
@@cristinaaristizabal9882Good analysis.
Real men/women walk when relationship ends, but losers/thugs don't. Her biggest mistake was to date a piece of $%%% and it ended in tears.
Believe it or not the fact that she was found looking peaceful is comforting that her face wasn’t contorted or twisted in some horrible way really does give the family a small measure of peace. I’m so tired of these men ruining everybody’s lives with their jealousy I really am it’s time. Women started turning the tables on these a Q on these violators and stab them and worry about the consequences later because in a lot of cases, it’s you or them.
Never doubt yourself, if you think a friend is scared, calling in the dark, ask the police to do a welfare check on them.
do more than that--tell the police what you know about a bad situation, at least then they can investigate.
@@ardeladimwit Yes, a police presence might have deterred or stopped him. ???
@@holly0297Yes and terminating the relationship on the first sign of DV...which always starts at a psychological level. And reporting anything after that to the police. You still might get murdered but at least they will get caught.
@@fridaytieday "You still might get murdered." Your frankness is refreshing! 😀And yes, I agree, better to have a trail. And tell family/friends.
@@fridaytieday That reminds me: I once saw elements of mental and financial abuse. I broached the subject w/my partner and it was like I either scared him straight or hurt-his-pride straight. Anyway, that took care of that. *But I realize that's unique.
It is a shame no one is ever able to say they do not want to be with a person anymore without losing their life over it. I certainly hope Australia and Brazil begin working on extradition laws as should be the case with all countries to eliminate red tape.
Thank God for the couple who found Cecilia and the calmness and clarity of mind the lady had to relay what she was witnessing. I do not know if I could have done it. I pray she has sought therapy and the same for Cecilia's family and friends.
Excellent reporting.
I think he is actually "better off" where he's at. Being in prison in Brazil is not a walk in the park.
@@AnimaLibera, I am sure it isn't either.

I'm so glad that the Australian authorities took this case to task and succeeded!👌🏾
“Just put a stop to it early.. don’t let it escalate.” You’d think these words from an officer who works solely on stalking cases would know- and fully understand that it’s rarely that simple for someone who’s in a relationship like that- or just being stalked by someone they don’t know- in fact that would be THAT much more difficult to try and do anything about the situation. You only have power over yourself and your actions- you can’t control the stalker and the only thing that ever helps in these situations is removing the stalker from the equation- ie put in jail/prison. And even then, they still pose a huge risk to the victim after they’re released. What a blatantly ignorant statement. That right there is why we still, to this day have such problems getting help from authorities because they think that we should be able to “nip it in the butt”, just like that. It’s never that simple. It’s very hard hearing that come out of someone’s mouth who’s sole responsibility is to eliminate these threats.
He is absolutely right. At least the stalker's name is then on police records. Restraining orders can be granted. Cecilia would have been given advice. Re Keeping records. Saving texts or ph voice mail messages.
Noting sightings.
Not that all of the above can stop somebody killing another because he wants to.
A beautiful girl; such a senseless loss😢 RIP 🙏
Well, if her friends didn’t think 27 years wasn’t long enough (which it’s not) it’s probably a LOT more than he would have gotten in Australia!!!
In Brazil? He’s going to be free very soon..the laws in Brazil are a joke!
Really? 27 years is definitely not enough.
@@karlascharfwow.
If he's got good behaviour whilist in prison, he'll only do a third of the time and then be out on parrol. That means, he'll actually be doing 9 years.
This is heartbreaking. The police work was outstanding. Unfortunately. there’s a lot of women being stalked and harassed that we may not be aware of. The
May Cecilia rest in peace.
Please take care and stay safe everyone.
Well done to the police and all involved! A sad mother sits in Brazil unresolved and wasting away for their child! Ladies stop saying the man will change, a leopard never changes it spots!
I love this show, we'd never know these stories if you didn't watch here on 60 min Australia 🇺🇸
Yesss me too! Also from/in 🇺🇸- I started watching like a year ago or so, some of the stories they cover (think global leaders) the US wouldn't tell us.
Right……!…. Me too from the USA…… These stories are amazing… we’d never see them here…. Thanks for 60 minutes Australia for these happy.. and sometimes heartbreaking stories…I look forward to them…
Having volunteered for some time with a victims of violent crime unit, in joint with the police; I learned just how important it is to report any threatening or disturbing behavior to the authorities. One should also tell friends and family; they can help, watch, and remember. Too often, the situation escalates to violence, as it did in this poor girl's situation. I feel terrible for her family and friends, and for the couple who found her. The man who murdered her, doesn't deserve to be named. So many lives ruined or scarred; it's all so sad. I wish these folks peace.
You mean so they have the evidence they need to arrest him after he finally murders her? I’m being a bit snarky here obviously but from personal experience & from watching so many of these shows you can call the police every time there’s an incident, tell friends & family, document everything & very rarely do these obsessive stalkers/murderers get any jail time or more than a slap on the wrist for making someone’s life a living hell. The more they do the more they see they’re getting away with it. And we finally have stalking laws but you wouldn’t know it sadly. It is still good advice to document & tell everyone what’s happening but it just doesn’t do much unfortunately.
@@jamiemiesler322 Well, I disagree. To me, what you're saying is that violence and/or lack of any meaningful restitution, should violence (or other law-breaking occur), are inevitable, and proaction pointless. I don't believe that to be true. And, I do know something about stalking laws, at least in my own State.
I agree but the min we do the police show no support nothing and all they say Is we have to be attacked or dead before they are arrested 😢
@@jamiemiesler322exactly. She’s waxing lyrical with no foundation in reality. I’ve been stalked also. You can’t stop them and, more often than not, notifying the authorities escalates it to the point of physical harm. F’k me dead. After 15 months of the cops doing 4/5 of fuck all I had to shut down my business, change all my social media, and leave the state to avoid being murdered. Don’t talk to me about the “authorities.”
Btw, what, in your mind, does it mean to be “in joint“ with the police? Are you sharing a spliff?
You know, his self-centeredness was what did him in, after all. He treated other people like objects . That uber driver witnessed everything!!
What was a attractive young lady doing with him? It's very clear looks didn't matter to her. Rest in peace, and I can't believe they found her keys thank God for the caring detective's.
For a visa.
He's actually repulsive
@@R8V10 disparaging a murder victim. Nice.
@@R8V10 you stupid or what? She was already successful when she moved to Australia, I'm sure Australian government were happy to give her a visa, seeing as she invested a lot of money when moving there.
Very puzzling why she did not change her locks, among other security measures.
Because she didn't think he would avtually hurt her. Technically he never had been volient before. But still. Yes wish she would have
If I had been her friend, I would have changed her locks for her and called the police!!
I was looking for this comment.
It's hard to blame anyone else when she didn't take his actions seriously. Discovering someone was in her apartment without consent should have triggered her into action.
I am sorry another woman is killed senselessly.
@@StaceiWI don’t know what I would’ve done in that scary situation but one thing, I’d gone ballistic if someone made a copy of my house key and would’ve changed it and reported that person to the police.
@@anasnow7302I'd have done the same thing!!! People are so naive in these type of situations...
Heartbreaking story that will help others to be told. Cecilia was very blessed to have such beautiful, determined, brave, and supportive friends in her life.
The policewoman who came to my home one night after my partner attacked me and the neighbours called, she told me he was going to kill me. Something about the way she spoke to me that night had a big impact on me. I did leave and I am safe now but this never leaves you. I recently saw that officer and thanked her. She is no longer a police officer. It was too much after 14 years she said. Rest peacefully Cecilia. You have beautiful friends.
What beautiful, loving friends Cecilia had. And that lady who found her body made me cry. Those three made me see and feel Cecilia. R.I.P.
Jerlousy is something we human beings need to work on, it takes us to a very dangerous situation at the last end.
Mostly sick males with over inflated egos and an inability to control their emotions. I am so sick of them and their violence toward women. So many are simply trash.
I agree. This story made me think of myself. I had an ex who I suspect was cheating. He broke up with me. He started stalking me. I didn't know. My sister caught him. He was jealous of my life. I was independent. He was not. I found out he lied about many "accomplishments". I thank God he never got into my apartment and we never lived together. I feel so bad for Cecilia. Very sad.
Her strength became her weakness
Such brave friends to speak out publicly and save others lives.
That's why too kind is dangerous to your self. Lesson learned be strong enough to be not nice sometimes in case your boundaries is violated
💯 Being too nice can get you killed
All you have to do is look at his picture to know that he is a dark spirit and VERY dangerous. Being overly nice ... does not work.. Don't do it!
I thought the UK was the most CCTV country in the world, Australia looks like it's caught up.
Got emotional with this case. What a sad case. Well done to everyone involved trying to solve the case.
I know that this message will not reach the right persons, responsible for this investigation. But I have to express gratitude for your hard work. It was very touching to see the footage from the discovery of her Corcovado keychain 🙏🌼
Rest in peace Cecilia. Good job to the Australian police department for bringing this individual to justice
Don’t ever care whether or not you get your ex in trouble, do everything to save yourself. I wish she took his jealousy and more seriously, some exes will do everything to stop the ex from moving on without them.
This video is truly heart-wrenching, and it reminds us of the harsh reality of domestic violence. Cecilia Haddad's story is both a tragedy and a lesson. The determination and unwavering efforts of the New South Wales police officers to seek justice are truly commendable. It's essential to convey to victims and their friends that they should never hesitate to seek help and support, even when it seems challenging. No one should ever have to endure such a horrifying situation in silence. We must collectively raise awareness and work to prevent more tragedies like Cecilia's from occurring. Her memory lives on, serving as a poignant reminder that we all have a role to play in ending domestic violence. #EndDomesticViolence #JusticeForCecilia 💔🙏
@@Meta1595 you're despicable
The tenacity and hard work of the Police Officers is to be commended as well 👍
As a Brazilian I'm happy to know that justice has been made. Unfortunately she went through too much distress before being ruthlessly killed by this cruel and callous man.
R.I.P lovely Cecilia 💐
People have to understand that 'no' means 'no'. At the end of a relationship no one needs to 'listen' to you, and if you find yourself stalking someone online or irl just stop and walk away. Enough is enough with these kind of murders. 😢 Such a pointless, painful tragedy. ANYONE can murder - don't be nice. Put a stop to the bullying and be firm before it's too late!!
We had a friend in a similar situation and she would not do a thing about it. We weren't under any restraints like that. I got arrested for changing the locks on her doors without permission. But that was the tiny snowball that got things looking better. We helped her make many changes, but she made one huge mistake that we all said she should not do. She refused to get a new phone and new telephone number. And the jerk traced her, through the phone, to a new address. And the security I installed outside her home (without her knowledge) caught her killer coming and going, and it matched with the estimated time of death..... It just seems like all our work only resulted in a more solid police case. One thing different between the Brazilian punishment... In the USA, the JA only got 11 years. And will be out and walking around with two years off for 'good behavior'. This guy in Brazil? Probably will not survive prison there.... We need that fear here to get things changed and we need to trust our REAL friends a lot more.
11 years for premeditated murder? Seems like there’s more to that story, or maybe not enough, because 11 years is a crime in and of itself.
What a great friend you were! I am so sorry you lost her. These cases are like the saying of a moth drawn to a flame.
Such a sad, tragic story, tenderly told by her friends, loved ones and authorities.
Rest well Angel. God bless these three women who loved her
As a survivor of DV for over 10 years it’s easy to tell someone leave but you shouldn’t say that unless you been in a relationship like that. Clearly she did try and leave him and ultimately he did kill her.
Actually, in a relationship with a stalker, you are never in more danger than the moment he understands that it's really over.
Right? The audacity of that police officer to say that “you should just leave and not escalate it even further.” That you should “just stop them before it gets worse” is beyond ridiculous. He, out of everyone, should be keenly aware of how difficult and virtually impossible it is for people in these situations to “just leave and not let it get any worse.” It’s ridiculous
@@PiXie232 💯We need better ways to deal with these monsters! Idk what I'd do if, say, my current partner was after me. Luckily, he's my protector - not murderous stalker.
This is devastating, how dare he do that to her. My thoughts, prayers and love go out to her family and friends.
Please, if you have a relative or loved one in this situation, feel free to anonymously call the police for them because some people's self preservation instincts never kick in. Unfortunately the guilty one is the only one who won't feel guilty.
In Brazil a person stays only 1/3 of the time he is convicted in jail, sometimes even less time. That is shameful because the lady is locked up from this life forever.
Lots of credit to these awesome investigators. God give this world many more of these remarkable people. May God give her family and loved ones the courage to continue on in her memories and love.
Carol & Rita I want you to trade your tears for hope, love, laughter and life. Continue your beautiful lives the way your friend lived hers. Live each day to the fullest. She was so lucky to have two wonderful friends like both of you. Her love lives on. Make her proud❤
These depressing stories all seem to start the same.....the stalked female worried about their exes getting in trouble...then the ex killing them with no regard for them at all! Gotta start worrying about your own safety and stop worrying about how it will affect your ex! If they weren't crazy, unreasonable criminals then they wouldn't have to worry about getting in trouble! People need to start making themselves a priority for real!
Spreading her story will help someone even if it’s one person to make a better decision to help someone around them. It always seems such a big dream to stop domestic violence but not trying does not help either. I know she is watching over her beautiful friends and don’t want her to live in the moments of the end of her life but remember she loves you and is always there. I think ever time you see a butterfly 🦋 send her a little hello she is listening
The police work is very commendable and outstanding
I’m surprised that the key she had was the type that could be cut. Usually apartment keys are security keys which means they cannot be reproduced. This is for safety reasons, and so the past tenants cannot come back into the apartments once they’ve moved out.
Any key can be cut.
@@carpediem4512 ABSOLUTELY not true. Security keys can I be cut at the locksmith where the key was made/purchased. It cannot be taken to any other locksmith and it cannot be reproduced because that key is only made and held at that locksmith.
@@chelseasummers2365i wish u were right …but any key can be cut ….from specialists that have the right tools from the manufacturer . I myself was able to cut apartment keys for a sibling for the main door .
@@carpediem4512 you are incorrect. A security key can only be taken to the locksmith that actually produce the key, and the only person that can take it there is a person who first set up the account and had the key made. The details I kept on record . No other locksmith can make a copy because that particular batch of keys was sold to that particular locksmith, and it’s all traceable so another locksmith cannot replicate the key because he hasn’t had the master set. That’s why locksmiths have certain security that they have to pass and abide by.
@@bangladeshirealtor , then the key wasn’t a security key. Sometimes they’re also called bi lock keys. They do not look anything like a traditional key. They are larger and they have a different shape.
Thank you for this story! I hope it helps those in need to seek help while there's still time.
RIP Cecelia. Heartbreaking 😢
Wow that moment with all three women at the end made me cry so bad. 😢 wow. She had beautiful friends. I went thru this situation . My ex stalked me physcially assulted me and broke into my house he tried to kill me by the grace oF GoD my dress RIPPED when he grabbed me and i ran out the door. Never went back. He broke into my parents house to my find me too. Thank GOd his cousin was going back to texas where he was from and he left the state and moved back 2 his home state. I got so lucky i know there are those like ceclia who did not. Rip beautiufl ceclia she seemdd like a great person
I'm glad you are safe now. It sounded very scary what you went through.
You guys are amazing! You expose criminals and horrible cases that shouldn’t be forgotten. Thanks to you all this information and knowledge is available to the public. There should be more media programs like this one. Keep up with the hard work, 60’ team!!!
Amazing police work! Bravo, Australia!!
This pains me knowing how innocent people become deceased because some pathetic man kills her. No one has a right to kill someone unless due to self defense. I feel sad that this happens all over the world. This man is mentally sickened. Justice will seal his fate….
THIS PROVES THAT NOT EVERY POLICE OFFICER IS A BAD PERSON.
HATS OFF TO THE POLICE..........
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
My lady in the river aww this case was so heartbreaking 💔
I can't imagine finding someone dead. I feel for the woman who found her. Once it's over, keep it that way. The more you continue to see them, the more control they have over you. Get out and stay out. Don't answer calls or texts. Eventually the guy will move on to his next victim and leave you alone.
Sociopaths are often triggered by being ignored.
I have found two dead bodies. But they died of natural causes. It still feels unreal though.
I am so sorry for your individual loss and, indeed global loss. I am an ex British Army Sergeant, I have three adult daughters and, I had to protect the youngest from a stalker / idiot.
I just don't understand why she didn't change those locks.😢
27 years only??? it should be a lifetime! the emotional turmoil he had given to the victim is beyond measure. this is so hearthbreaking.
God… this is dreadfully sad… she looked and sounded like such an amazing woman.. someone to be proud of and love so much.. imagine how her parents feel … 💔
One thing I learn in life. Never be sorry for people who try to harm you. The moment they try to harm you cut all ties and report them. Don’t wait until it escalates
Yes good advice. However people are weak and want somebody else to take control of the situation for them.
I'm feel the same...as soon as bad behaviour rears its ugly head,🎉 kick it right up the arse. They might cry and carry on but stay steadfast and that way you stay alive.
I'm truly disturbed and saddened by the heinous crime I just witnessed in that video. It's heartbreaking to think about the young woman who lost her life in such a senseless and cruel manner. My heart goes out to her and her loved ones as they grapple with this unimaginable tragedy.
As for the perpetrator, his appearance may be unsettling, but it's his actions that are truly repulsive. No matter how he looks, the ugliness lies in the darkness of his soul and the brutality of his deeds. I hope justice is served swiftly for the sake of the victim and to ensure that such a dangerous individual is removed from society, preventing any further harm.
Excellent hard work from the Australian police and investigators, very commendable for seeing all through.
She thought she had control of the situation? He broke into ur apartment and afraid to sleep in ur apt. That is not having control of a situation.
