A woman has spoken out after being accused of being involved in a failed murder-for-hire plot.

Aimee Betro from Milwaukee, Wisconsin has reportedly been working as a freelance graphic designer and administrator since graduating from college in 2015, but she's now found herself being accused of being a 'hitwoman'.

Prepare to feel like Netflix release Hit Man has just come to life.

The allegations

On 7 September, 2019, 44-year-old Betro is accused of flying from Chicago to Birmingham, UK, having allegedly been hired by British father and son Mohammed Nazir, 30, and Mohammed Aslam, 56, to kill a man named Aslat Mahamud and his relatives.

It's reported Nazir and Aslam were seeking revenge on Mahamud and his family over an incident which took place at 2018, which saw the father and son left injured, as per The Independent.

In 2019, Betro allegedly organized a meeting with Mahamud's son, Sikander Ali, to view a car the family was selling.

Prosecutor Kevin Hegarty KC told Birmingham Crown Court Betro pulled up to Ali's house in a Mercedes and he pulled up in an Audi nearby.

The prosecutor claims: "As he did, the would-be assassin came from the driver’s side of the Mercedes. As she left the Mercedes she left the driver’s door open. She walked quite calmly towards Sikander Ali and was pointing a gun at him at head height.

"As she got closer to Sikander Ali he saw her and he saw the gun and she pulled the trigger to fire the gun at him. Mercifully and luckily for him the gun jammed."

Betro is accused of returning to Ali's house the next day and firing her gun three times, texting him asking where he was 'hiding' before returning to the US two days later - Ali and his family were, thankfully, unharmed.

Nazir and Aslam were found guilty of conspiracy to murder last week and authorities are reportedly still searching for Betro - who has since spoken out.

The 'hitwoman's' response

Despite allegedly being on the run for the crimes she's accused of committing, Mail Online reports Betro has been in contact with her friends via social media.

A local friend reached out to Betro on Facebook, sharing with her an article about the allegations she faces, saying: "Lot what are you up to?"

In an exchange viewed by Mail Online, Betro's message back read: "Dude I saw, like wtf I don’t even know where to start with all the misinformation that’s said about me. It’s a f**king s**t show."

The friend then asked if he could do anything to 'help' but she replied: "Idk dude. I don’t think there’s anything you can help with but I really appreciate you reaching out."

The friend claims Betro is in touch with other friends too and is 'using her phone everyday' questioning if police 'really wanted to catch her' that they could just 'track her phone' and 'already have her'.

A West Midlands Police spokesperson told The Times: "Efforts to locate a woman we believe to have been involved in the conspiracy continue."

The US Department of State added: "We have no comment at this time on this pending law enforcement matter."

LADbible Group has contacted West Midlands Police for comment.
