The mom of an 18-year-old Italian woman who was raped and murdered by a Nigerian drug dealer wore a T-shirt showing the teens dismembered body in court to protest his appeal of part of his conviction.
Pamela Mastropietro was raped and butchered by 32-year-old Innocent Oseghale in the central Italy town of Macerta in January 2018.
Oseghale who stuffed the teens mutilated remains inside two suitcases and dumped them in a ditch was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of murder, rape and destruction of a body.
On Wednesday, the brute appeared in court in Perugia to appeal his rape conviction, claiming he did not sexually assault Mastropietro in a bid to shorten his sentence, the Italian news outlet ANSA reported.
The victims mother, Alessandra Verni, attended the hearing wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with harrowing images of her daughters remains including her decapitated head lying on a pathologists table.
The anguished woman and Oseghale nearly came to blows and had to be separated as he was led away shouting: Enough judicial oppression!
As she confronted the ruthless killer, Verni screamed: Tell me! Tell me what you want!
