WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT. A woman who killed her own mum by stabbing her more than 100 times is facing a longer prison sentence after a shocking attack
A murderer who is already in prison for decapitating and killing her own mother has been back in court after a shocking attack.
Jessica Camilleri’s crime left the world reeling when she was exposed, but her violent behaviour has not stopped behind bars.
The infamous mum-killer is facing the fresh prospect of having time piled onto her jail sentence after she once again admitted attacking a prison guard.
Camilleri is already serving a 16-and-a-half year prison sentence for killing her mother inside their home in 2019.
The woman, from Sydney, was found not guilty of murder – due to substantial mental illness – but guilty of manslaughter after she stabbed her mother Rita, 57, over 100 times and cut out her tongue and eyeballs.

And it’s not the first time she’s lashed out while she’s been inside – since being locked up Camilleri has repeatedly attacked officers and had prison time added onto her sentence.
The woman appeared in Waverley Local Court on Wednesday, NewsAu reports, just days after being charged with assaulting prison officials at Long Bay Correctional Centre on May 5.
It’s the fourth time since being inside that she has been charged with a similar offence. Camilleri pleaded guilty to one count of assaulting a law enforcement officer – not police – inflicting actual bodily harm.
She also pleaded not guilty to one count of assaulting a law officer, who was also not a police officer.
In 2022, she pleaded guilty to two counts of assaulting a law enforcement officer and inflicting actual bodily harm relating to separate attacks on two guards at Silverwater Women’s Correctional Centre in August and October 2021.
A video played to the court at the time showed Camilleri yanking a fistful of hair from the scalp of one of the guards.
Less than two months later, Camilleri attacked a second female Corrective Services officer in a similar fashion while in the prison yard. She was sentenced to 22 months in jail, with a non-parole period of 12 months.
Last year Camilleri was sentenced to 12 months in jail after she pleaded guilty to an attack on two female guards at Dillwynia Correctional Centre. She pleaded guilty to two counts of assaulting a law enforcement officer over the March 2023 incident.
And earlier this year, she was sentenced to six months in jail after she pleaded guilty to the common assault of a prison officer at Dillwynia on March 13 this year.
A court heard earlier this year that Camilleri had struggled with life behind bars and had repeatedly pulled the hair of correctional officers. Camilleri will return to court on October 22.
