US EditionUS woman Aimee Betro jailed for 30 years over failed plot to kill Birmingham shop owner
Aimee Betro took part in a murder conspiracy fueled by a family feud, with co-conspirators sentenced to 32 and 10 years, respectively, following a failed assassination attempt.
- On Thursday, jurors at Birmingham Crown Court found Aimee Betro guilty of conspiracy to murder and related weapons offences, and Judge Simon Drew KC sentenced her to 30 years with concurrent terms.
- Prosecutors said revenge drove the plot after Mohammed Aslam, 56, and Mohammed Nabil Nazir, 31, were injured in a July 2018 disorder at Mr Mahumad's clothing boutique and later jailed last year.
- Betro met Nazir on a dating app in late 2018 and travelled to the UK multiple times, including landing at Manchester Airport, before trying to shoot Sikander Ali shortly after 8pm on September 7, 2019; her gun jammed, and she later fired three shots through his family home's windows in Measham Grove, Yardley, Birmingham.
- Prosecutors told the court Aimee Betro took a 'leading role' sending gun parts and ammunition to the UK to frame Faris Quayum; she was convicted last week after US extradition.
- The jury of six men and six women deliberated for almost 21 hours before returning verdicts, while Det Ch Insp Alastair Orencas noted the defendant appeared 'on the face of it, a normal-looking individual' despite evidence against her.
