Stab victim Selina Bello 'living life to the fullest' with baby boy Emilio Selina Bello, the stoic young Perth woman who was stabbed at her Como hair salon earlier this year while pregnant, posted this beautiful picture on Facebook this week of her and her newborn son Emilio. HER smile says it all - a second chance at life. Six months ago, as Selina Bello lay in hospital fighting for her life after being stabbed at her Como hair salon she couldn't have imagined what it would feel like to hold her unborn baby in her arms. But, this Christmas nothing will be able to separate Ms Bello and little Emilio. "I thank god every day for the second chance we have been given and plan to live my life to its fullest," Ms Bello yesterday told The Sunday Times. If this year has taught me anything, it's to value those closest to you because you never know what tomorrow may throw your way. Ms Bello and her mother Angela Ferullo were allegedly attacked by a man on the morning of June 24 as they worked at their Como hairdressing salon on South Tce. Ms Ferullo, a 43-year-old mum of four, died in hospital from her injuries. Ms Bello, 23, was five months pregnant at the time. She suffered serious injuries and spent more than a week in hospital. There were concerns that she would lose her precious baby. This week a friend of Ms Bello's posted this picture on Facebook of her holding her first child, Emilio, in her arms. Not surprisingly the photograph, which Ms Bello gave permission for The Sunday Times to publish in today's newspaper, attracted nearly 100 "likes" from family and friends since it was posted. "2013 has been a horrible year which has challenged me in every aspect of my life," Ms Bello said. I'm certainly looking forward to welcoming 2014 on a positive note with my beautiful son, partner and family. The events of June 24 resulted in an outpouring of emotion from the community - from grief over the loss of Ms Ferullo to praise for 67-year-old grandmother Peggy Kew, who threw a chair at the alleged attacker and demanded he leave. Ms Kew was stabbed too. "All I could think of was picking up the chair and hitting him on the head and that's what I did," Ms Kew told The Sunday Times in an exclusive interview earlier this year. In the days after the tragedy, bouquets of flowers lay outside the salon filled with heartfelt messages. One read: "Rest in peace Angie. Your kindness and support will never be forgotten. Wonderful mother, much respect. Police have charged Ms Ferullo's former husband with murder and attempted murder of Ms Bello. He's also been charged with the aggravated wounding of Ms Kew. He has not yet entered a plea to any of the charges. He is due in court again on January 29.
