US ‘hitwoman’s DNA found on gun parts sent to UK’

The DNA of an American woman alleged to have been involved in a failed assassination attempt was found on gun parts illegally sent to the UK more than a month later, a court has heard.

Aimee Betro, 45, is alleged to have flown from Wisconsin as part of a plot orchestrated by co-conspirators Mohammed Aslam, 56, and Mohammed Nabil Nazir, 31, of Derby, to attack a rival family on Sept 7 2019.

A trial at Birmingham Crown Court heard on Tuesday that Ms Betro had been involved in “yet another” of Mr Nazir’s plots to take revenge on a rival when she was alleged to have sent three parcels full of ammunition and gun parts to the UK on Oct 16 2019.
