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’.”

Manassa was found in the driveway of a home on Driftway Drive in Pemulwuy about 10.45pm yesterday.

9News understands he was pulled from a car and attacked.

“My brother explained that he heard multiple screams,” a witness told 9News.

“I heard a man screaming for ten seconds and then another woman screaming loudly for ten seconds.”

Glasser said the man was known to police, but was not a well-known crime figure.

He also said police had received a description of two men wearing dark clothing running from the scene.

Police said they had “no idea” why he was targeted.
