Stephanie Scott was less than a week away from her wedding when she was killed by Vincent Stanford in Leeton, NSW in 2015
The fiance of a teacher who was raped and murdered days before her wedding by a deranged school cleaner has revealed he has found new love five years later.
Vincent Stanford is serving life in prison for the savage killing of Stephanie Scott, 26, in the rural New South Wales town of Leeton in April 2015.
Stanford raped and murdered Ms Scott in a classroom at Leeton High School while she was preparing lessons for a replacement teacher ahead of her honeymoon.
Aaron Leeson-Woolley, the husband-to-be left behind by the senseless killing, has announced he is engaged to be married to another local of the small Riverina town – Samantha Cirillo.
The couple announced their engagement in a post on Mr Leeson-Woolley’s Facebook page, alongside two happy photos of the pair together.
‘Awesome news. I could not be happier for you both. Congratulations,’ one well-wisher wrote.

Details of the wedding have not been disclosed out of respect for the Scott family, Ms Cirillo told News Corp.
‘The Scott family do not want to speak with the media so I’ll have to respect their wishes,’ she said.
Last week marked the anniversary of Ms Scott’s death.
After raping and killing her, Stanford drove her body to bushland and dumped it.
The killer’s identical twin brother Marcus Stanford, 28, spent 15 months in jail for being an accessory after the murder, when he pawned her engagement ring and another piece of jewellery posted to him by Vincent.

Vincent Stanford took the jewellery from Ms Scott’s body after he raped and murdered her in a classroom at Leeton High School while she was preparing lessons for her replacement ahead of her honeymoon.
Marcus said he was still haunted by the night his brother called him for help disposing of the evidence, and now refuses to have any contact with his killer twin.
‘I did things for my brother… and for most days I’ve been trying to put it behind me,’ Marcus told Daily Mail Australia last year.
‘Now I don’t want anything to do with him. I have no contact with him and I don’t want any.’

Marcus admitted helping his brother was a despicable act, done out of ‘misguided loyalty’ to his twin, and said he was apologetic to Ms Scott’s family.
‘The day I got out (of jail) I said I was sorry… I’m still sorry,’ he said.
‘But does it haunt me? Yeah. Some weeks you’re good, some weeks you think about it. That’s how I can put it basically.’

The twins’ dad Steve said he remained baffled and horrified by Vincent’s crime, but he never wanted to see his son again.
‘I don’t want to call him, I don’t want to sit down with him, I don’t want anything to do with him,’ Steve said.
‘I’ve never had a bloody parking ticket. I don’t know why he did it, I never asked why he did it and to be honest, I don’t want to know.
‘He didn’t get it from my genes and he didn’t get it from his mother’s genes.’

The father and son recently moved to a country town in NSW, after they say they were ‘run out’ of their former home at Price on South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula when the constant abuse from locals became too much.
We want to keep a low profile, just get on with things, you know?
‘When I came out of prison I moved into Price and you’d get the occasional looks and they say things quietly under their breath, but you hear them,’ Marcus said.
‘I ignored them, but it got to a point where we decided to move away from the town.’
‘Basically we’re still trying to move on. We want to keep a low profile, just get on with things, you know?’ Steve said.
‘We don’t go to the pub, we don’t go anywhere. It’s hard but that’s the way it is.’
Neither man works, and Marcus cares for his dad who is suffering with his health .
‘I don’t like talking about the situation, but no, I’m not working,’ Marcus said.
‘Of course it’s hard trying to find a job, everyone knows you in a situation like this, so you get plenty of knock backs.

Marcus, who is unemployed but has taken up the role of carer for his father, told Daily Mail Australia: ‘I did things for my brother… and for most days since I’ve been trying to put it behind me’

Vincent Stanford (pictured during a police interview) was arrested just two days after Ms Scott was killed. Earlier that day he had text his brother Marcus, saying: ‘I’m going to send you an envelope keep it safe for me’
Marcus walked free from prison in September 2016 after spending 15 months behind bars for helping his brother get rid of evidence.
Vincent was jailed for life a month later.
In the days after Ms Scott’s death in April 2015, Marcus received a text message from his brother that said: ‘I’m going to send you an envelope keep it safe for me’.
He agreed, but by the time Ms Scott’s rings and drivers licence arrived Vincent had been arrested.
A judge found that by that point, Marcus surely knew whose belongings he was now dealing with and the horrific way they had come to be in his possession.
Called in for an interview by police to ensure they had the right identical twin in their custody, Marcus never mentioned Ms Scott’s rings or his conversations with his twin.
On May 9 – a month after agreeing to take possession of something from his brother – Marcus went to an Adelaide jewellery store and sold the rings for a combined $705.
He also burned her driver’s licence, but only after taking a photo of it on his phone.
It wasn’t until June 10, two months after the school teacher’s death, that Marcus was arrested by police and a month later that he pleaded guilty to his crime.
Marcus admitted his decision was influenced by ‘misguided loyalty to [his] brother’.
In the days after his release from prison he moved into a caravan park with his father.

Packing up their belongings and moving earlier this year, they headed to a small regional town where Steve had always wanted to live years ago after separating from his ex-wife, Anneke Noort.
Ms Noort took the twins and her third son Luke to her homeland, the Netherlands, to grow up and complete their schooling.
It wasn’t until 2013 that the family returned to Australia.
Having missed out on much of his son’s upbringing, Steve admits the relationship he has with Marcus is a selfish silver lining to have come from Vincent’s horrific crime.

They know that if not for Vincent killing Ms Scott, they could be any other father and son in the country.
When the father and son talked to Daily Mail Australia they were in the middle of unpacking a new bed they had just bought for their two-bedroom home.
Inside there is a fridge full of beer, a framed Cronulla Sharks jersey on the wall and the talk is about sport, namely the sackings of St Kilda coach Alan Richardson in the AFL and in the NRL, the Gold Coast Titans’ decision to dump Garth Brennan.
‘He looks after me, my body is shot from too many years of rugby and boxing,’ Steve said.
‘Yeah we know each other pretty well now, but we’re boring as f**k just like everyone else.
‘We go fishing, we watch rugby league – I’ve followed Cronulla since I was a boy and Marcus now goes for Parramatta – and he loves the cricket.’
While they are trying their best to move on, Marcus understands it is something that will stick with them forever – despite their wishes.
‘We’re just like everyone else – shocked and appalled by what happened,’ he said.
‘You never think someone you know is going to do something like that.’
