Jessica Camilleri stabbed Rita Camilleri to death in the kitchen of their St Clair home before mutilating and hacking off her mother's head, carrying it outside to show neighbours, in July 2019.
The 27-year-old was found guilty of manslaughter at trial in December, after she had pleaded not guilty to murder on the grounds of substantial impairment.
