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 teen�s 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 teen�s 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 victim�s mother, Alessandra Verni, attended the hearing wearing a T-
shirt emblazoned with harrowing images of her daughter�s remains �
including her decapitated head lying on a pathologist�s 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!�

She told reporters outside the courtroom: �Have you seen what they did to
her? That man, who raped and tortured her, should rot in jail!�, the US
Sun reported.

Verni told La Stampa she wore the shirt as a �wake-up call,� saying that
�after five years I am losing faith in justice.

�I wonder what is the point of re-prosecuting Oseghale, questioning sexual violence and opening up the possibility of a sentence reduction,� she told
the Italian news outlet.

�Did he not exercise enough violence to merit life imprisonment? Anyone
who saw those images knew that if they were made public they would shake consciences,� Verni added.

The grieving mom also renewed her appeal to capture Oseghale�s
accomplices.

�There were other people with Osenghale the day he killed Pamela. I feel
that no one is being investigated. No one is looking for these men,� she
said.

Mastropietro met Osenghale after she left an addiction recovery center in
early 2018 and was looking for drugs.

Police later found her blood-stained clothes in Oseghale�s home.

Her murder prompted Luca Traini, a right-wing militant, to shoot and wound
six African migrants in a drive-by revenge shooting in Macerata.

In March 2021, he was sentenced to 12 years behind bars, ANSA reported.

Oseghale, who arrived in Italy in 2014 as an asylum-seeker, began selling
drugs after he dropped out of a refugee assistance program, The US Sun reported.

If the appellate court acquits him of rape, his life sentence could be shortened.
