Teenagers Charged over Stabbing of 21-Year-Old Sydney Man

Luke Manassa, a 21-year-old Sydney entrepreneur, was stabbed outside a Driftway Drive home in Pemulwuy on June 26, 2025.
The attack happened after two teenagers disguised in dark clothing approached Manassa and his girlfriend, stabbing him multiple times.
Manassa was able to get back into his vehicle and travel a brief way before he died from his wounds soon after the assault.
Police arrested a 17-year-old in South Penrith and a 16-year-old in Mount Druitt after executing dawn raids, charging both with murder and refusing bail.
Investigations under Strike Force Hickety continue, and Manassa's family stated he was not linked to organised crime, with police noting their devastation.
