A convicted murderer, already serving time for the brutal killing of her mother, faced additional charges in court following a recent violent incident. Jessica Camilleri, known for the shocking crime that captured global attention, has continued to exhibit aggressive behavior while incarcerated.
Camilleri, infamous for the murder of her mother in 2019, is now confronted with the possibility of an extended prison term after confessing to assaulting a prison guard once again. Despite being acquitted of murder due to severe mental illness, she was found guilty of manslaughter for the gruesome attack on her mother, Rita, which involved multiple stab wounds and mutilation.
This recent assault is not an isolated incident as Camilleri has a history of attacking prison staff since her incarceration. Facing charges for assaulting guards at Long Bay Correctional Centre, Camilleri appeared in court following the altercation. She has previously been convicted of similar offenses, including assaulting law enforcement officers and causing bodily harm.
In prior incidents at different correctional facilities, Camilleri had been involved in violent altercations with officers, resulting in additional jail time. The pattern of aggression displayed by Camilleri has been documented through various assaults on prison staff, leading to repeated legal consequences. The court proceedings have highlighted her challenges in adapting to prison life, with reports of aggressive behavior towards correctional officers.
Camilleri’s court appearance on these recent charges indicates a pattern of violent behavior that has persisted during her time behind bars. Scheduled to return to court for further proceedings in October, Camilleri’s actions continue to raise concerns about her conduct within the prison environment.
