Danilo Restivo was told his murder of Heather Barnett was so "inhuman" he would never be freed
A killer who mutilated a Dorset mother before leaving someone else's hair in her hand has been given the right to challenge his full-life jail sentence.
Mrs Barnett was bludgeoned with a hammer before having her throat cut.
Restivo has been refused leave to appeal against last June's conviction at Winchester Crown Court.
Restivo has since also been convicted of murdering 16-year-old Elisa Claps in Potenza, Italy, in 1993.
He was given a 30-year term for that killing by an Italian court in his absence in November.
