Failed contract killer from Wisconsin sentenced to the UK
An American woman who was hired as a contract killer by her British lover, but screwed up the attack and spent five years on the run, was found to be guilty for conspiracy. Aimee Begro, 44 years old and from Wisconsin, tried to shoot a man in front of his house in Birmingham, England on September 7, 2019. However, the attack failed because her weapon stuck what made it possible for her intended victim to escape by “pure coincidence”, as the prosecutor Hannah Sidaway from the Crown Prosecution Service explained in the West Midlands.
The course of the process
After a case that reversed several continents and included various law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and the National Crime Agency, was convicted at Birmingham Crown Court on Tuesday. The court heard that despite the great distance, the court was involved in a family revenge, which was arranged by father and son, Mohammed Aslam and Mohammed Nazir from Derbyshire, England.
Origins of the conspiracy
The plan came from a dispute that the 2018 duo had with the owner of a clothing business in Birmingham. The dispute with the business owner Aslat Mahumad led to the two men planned to murder him or a family member, reported the PA Media news agency from Great Britain.
Goal of the conspiracy
The goal and later victim was Aslam's son, Sikander Ali. Aslam and Nazir were convicted of their role in the murder complex last year. Nazir received a prison sentence of 32 years, while ASLAM had to serve for ten years, said the West Midlands police.
A mysterious motivation
"Only affected what she really motivated or what she hoped to be involved in a crime that she led hundreds of miles from Wisconsin to Birmingham to attack an attack on an unknown man. The jury was obviously agreed that it was a planned order murder," said the prosecutor.
From the dating app to the murder conspiracy
In the course of the three-week process, it became known that affair had met her lover Nazir at the end of 2018 via a dating app. She flew to him Christmas 2018, but returned to the USA in January 2019, reported PA. In August 2019 she traveled again to the United Kingdom to carry out the planned murder the following month.
The failed attack
On the day of the attack, Bean covered in a Niqab and waited in front of her victim's house in a Mercedes bought on the same day. When the man came home in his black SUV, a surveillance camera was recorded, as was released from her vehicle, held the gun in his hand and tried to hand over shots. Since the weapon is stuck, the man was able to flee in his car by walking back rapidly and touching the door of the Mercedes, according to the CPS.
After the failed attack
After the failed attempt, the contract killer left her vehicle nearby, but returned to the property with a taxi hours later. There she fired three shots through the windows of the house, including a bedroom window. Then she sent mocking messages to the victim's father with the news via a prepaid phone: "Where do you hide?" And "stop playing hiding, you are lucky that it was stuck."
Escape and arrest
The damaged Mercedes was later secured with a decisive evidence, a black glove with DNA. Bean fled from the United Kingdom within a few hours after the shot. Three days later, her lover and co -conspirator Nazir met her again in the USA. Together they planned another revenge, in which they illegally sent ammunition to a man in derby, England, with hope that he would be arrested, the West Midlands police said.
The arrest
The native of Wisconsin then decided to hide in Armenia, where she was felt and delivered by the Armenian police in July 2024. "This was a complex examination and a delivery process that required the cooperation of several authorities, including the National Crime Agency and the Armanian dishes. We worked together to ensure that we had a waterproof case to legally arrest Aimee in a foreign country without being able to find out and possibly fled again," said John Shehan, head of the delivery unit of CPS.
Outlook on the verdict
Bean will be sent on Thursday, August 21.
