Woman who decapitated her own mum in a case that shocked Australia is accused of another alarming crime behind bars
A woman who cut her own mother's head off in a frenzied attack has again been accused of attacking and ripping the hair out of a fellow inmate.
Jessica Camilleri, 37, was jailed for a minimum 16 years for brutally killing her mother Rita Camilleri, 59, in 2019.
The then 30-year-old stabbed her mother more than 100 times before dumping her severed head outside the family home in St Clair in western Sydney.
Camilleri was found guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter in 2021, owing to 'substantial' mental health issues.
She is currently serving time at Dillwynia Correctional Centre in Sydney's west, where she allegedly ripped 'clumps of hair' from another female prisoner earlier this year.
Inmates reportedly gathered around Camilleri during the alleged altercation on February 15.
Corrective officers who intervened found 'clumps of hair' around the common area of the facility, a prison source told the Daily Telegraph.
It's the sixth time Camilleri has been accused of pulling out hair of inmates or prison officers, the source added.

The then 30-year-old stabbed her mother Rita (pictured) more than 100 times before dumping her severed head outside the family home in western Sydney.
Corrective Services NSW confirmed staff responded to an altercation between inmates following an alleged unprovoked attack by a 37-year-old on February 15.
'The inmate was removed from the accommodation unit where the alleged attack occurred,' a spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia.
'All other inmates involved with the altercation were seen by Justice Health and no further treatment was required.
'NSW Police was notified of the incident.'
NSW Police was contacted for further comment.
The latest incident comes weeks after prison sources revealed that Camilleri terrorising is her prison wing and that authorities don't know what to do with her.
'She has become an ongoing problem,' a prison insider told Daily Mail Australia.
An additional 22 months were added to Camilleri's jail time in September 2023 after she assaulted two prison guards at Silverwater Correctional Complex by ripping hair out of their scalp two years earlier.

In May last year, Camilleri pleaded guilty to assaulting another two prison guards at Dillwynia Correctional Centre two months prior.
She apologised and blamed her actions on 'frustration'.
Camilleri had an additional 12 months added to her sentence.
Just days after pleading guilty, Camilleri allegedly assaulted and pulled out lumps of hair of a fellow Dillwynia inmate.
She currently isn't eligible for parole until December 2032.
