"All we know at this point is he was stabbed a number of times... this is serious high-level violence that we can't tolerate."

In a podcast, Manassa framed himself as a young businessman. He graduated from UTS last year.

"I told my dad, I'm going to buy an apartment," he said in the podcast.

"I'm going to buy a property at the end of this year, he says 'yeah, show me'."
