(CNN) The mother of a slain British backpacker has written a scathing letter to US President Donald Trump after her daughter's killing in Australia appeared on the White House's list of 78 underreported terror attacks.

"My daughter's death will not be used to further this insane persecution of innocent people," Rosie Ayliffe wrote in a statement posted to Facebook.

Mia Ayliffe-Chung, 21, was stabbed to death in Queensland in August along with fellow backpacker Tom Jackson, 30.

"The possibility of Mia and Tom's deaths being consequent to an Islamic terror attack was discounted in the early stages of the police investigation... Any fool can shout Allahu Akbar as they commit a crime," Rosie Ayliffe wrote in her statement.
