Footage shot in a police interview room of a woman caked in dried blood as she discussed decapitating her mother won t be published, a court has ruled.
Jessica Camilleri, 27, was last week found guilty of manslaughter over Rita Camilleri s July 2019 stabbing death.
The jury accepted she had a partial defence to murder due to a loss of control caused by her mental conditions that include autism spectrum disorder and an intellectual disability.
Those mental conditions also provided some reason for trial judge Helen Wilson to order on Monday that the police interview footage not be released.
